AEthelflaed had inherited much of the resolve of her 2 CONC father, and continued her husband's campaigns against the Welsh. She 2 CONC also led the defense against the Vikings who, having established 2 CONC themselves in the north and east, now began to settle in the Wirral. 2 CONC AEthelflaed negotiated with their leader, Ingimund, to control the 2 CONC settlement, but in 905 the Vikings attacked Chester, causing 2 CONC AEthelflaed to fortify the town. She recognized that the Vikings 2 CONC might destroy the Saxon relics in the north and wherever possible she 2 CONC sought to salvage objects of veneration. These included the relics of 2 CONC Oswald of Northumbria which were translated to Gloucester in 909. When 2 CONC AEthelred died in 922, AEthelflaed continued to rule, though subject 2 CONC to her brother, Edward the Elder of Wessex. She created new fortified 2 CONC boroughs against the Welsh and Vikings, including those at Bridgnorth 2 CONC and Bromsgrove, and she sought to assist the Scots and Strathclyde 2 CONC Britons against the Norse of Dublin and York. AEthelflaed was one of 2 CONC the great warrior queens of England, and was highly respected by her 2 CONC enemies. She died at Tamworth on June 12, 918, about age fifty. 2 CONC Although she was succeeded by her daughter Elfwynn, it is evident that 2 CONC she expected AEthelstan, the eldest son of Edward the Elder, whom she 2 CONC had fostered and raised, to become king, which he eventually did. 2 CONT (Source: Mike Ashley, "British Monarchs") 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE BEF 885 1 DEAT 2 DATE 918 1 FAMS @F364@ 1 FAMC @F363@ 0 @I174@ INDI 1 NAME AEthelred /Of Saxony/ 2 NPFX Ealdormann of Gaini 2 GIVN AEthelred 2 SURN Of Saxony 1 SEX M 1 _UID C07E33C948AE724E84DED42B449FFC4A7A9D 1 NOTE Also called Ethelfrida. 2 CONT Ruled c 883 - 911 2 CONT He succeeded Ceolwulf II.

It 2 CONC was likely that by this time AEthelred had already married AElfred's 2 CONC daughter AEthelflaed.

AKA: Egbert 'the Great'. Born: in 775 in Wessex, England, son 2 CONC of Eahlmund=Edmund, King of Kent. Egbert was King of England 827-836, 2 CONC King of Wessex in 802 and Under-King of Kent from 784 to 786. Married 2 CONC before 806: Redburga=Raedburh N? Died: on 4 Feb 839 in Wessex, 2 CONC England. 2 CONT EGBERT (d. 839) was King of Wessex from 802 until 839. He claimed 2 CONC descent from Ingild, a brother of King Ine of Wessex. His father was a 2 CONC certain Ealhmund who ruled briefly in Kent c. 784 in opposition to 2 CONC Offa of Mercia. When King Cynewulf of Wessex died in 786, Egbert 2 CONC disputed with Beorhtric for possession of the king-dom. Beorhtric, 2 CONC Offa's protege, came out on top and Egbert departed into exile at the 2 CONC Frankish court. On Beorhtric's death in 802 Egbert returned and 2 CONC established himself as King of Wessex in a successful revolt against 2 CONC Mercian ascendancy. 2 CONT Egbert ruled an independent Wessex for the next twenty-three years, of 2 CONC which we have little record. This was succeeded by a period of 2 CONC frenzied activity. In 825 he Defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at the 2 CONC battle of Ellendun (probably Wroughton in Wiltshire) and immediately 2 CONC afterwards sent his son Ethelwulf eastwards to wrest Kent, Surrey, 2 CONC Sussex and Essex from Mercian overlordship. He also received an appeal 2 CONC for protection from the East Anglians who had rebelled against the 2 CONC Mercians. The Mercian empire seemed to be falling apart as rival 2 CONC claimants contended for kingship over the next few years. In 829 2 CONC Egbert conquered Mercia and went on to lay waste part of Northumbria 2 CONC and exact submission and tribute from its king Eanred. For a short 2 CONC period he was overlord of all the English kingdoms. But in 830 Mercia 2 CONC threw off West Saxon lordship and for the rest of his reign Egbert's 2 CONC direct authority was restricted to Wessex and the south east. 2 CONT It has sometimes been claimed that Egbert was the first 'King of all 2 CONC England'. But this is absurd. The notion is based upon the treat-ment 2 CONC of Egbert in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, put together in the form in 2 CONC which we have it at the court of Egbert's grandson Alfred and 2 CONC concerned above all else to magnify the exploits of the West Saxon 2 CONC royal dynasty. Mercian supremacy did not end with Offa. Ninth-century 2 CONC Mercia may have been subject to dynastic instability, as which 2 CONC Anglo-Saxon kingdom was not? But it could still produce some imposing 2 CONC rulers such as Cenwulf (796-821), Wiglaf (827-40) and Beorhtwulf 2 CONC (840-52). Further to the north the Northumbrian King Eanred (808-40) 2 CONC continued to rule a kingdom stretching from the Humber to the Firth of 2 CONC Forth: the submission to Egbert in 829 had no lasting effect. 2 CONT Nevertheless, Egbert's reign is an important one. In the first place, 2 CONC he consolidated West Saxon domination over the remaining British 2 CONC princes of the southwest in a series of campaigns in 815, 825, 830 and 2 CONC 838. Secondly, his annexation of south-eastern England in 825 was to 2 CONC be permanent. Kent became a dependency where West Saxon princes could 2 CONC learn the business of kingship: just as Egbert entrusted Kent to his 2 CONC son Ethelwulf, so after his accession in 839 Ethelwulf placed his son 2 CONC Athelstan in authority there. Egbert and Ethelwulf were at pains to 2 CONC cultivate good relations with the archbishops of Canterbury; they had 2 CONC learnt the lessons of Offa's failure in this respect. In particular, 2 CONC they tried to ensure that the see of Canterbury should be 2 CONC well-disposed not just to individual kings of Wessex but to the 2 CONC dynasty as a whole; in their own words in a charter of 838, 'that we 2 CONC and our heirs for ever afterwards may have firm and unbroken 2 CONC friendship from the archbishop and all his successors.' They wanted to 2 CONC break free from the snares of dynastic instability and discon-tinuity 2 CONC which plagued Mercia, Northumbria and their Frankish neighbours over 2 CONC the Channel. That they succeeded in doing so no doubt owed much to 2 CONC luck, but also something to shrewd management. Finally, Egbert showed 2 CONC that he could cope with new enemies, the Vikings. They ravaged the 2 CONC Island of Sheppey in 835, and Defeated him at Carhampton in 836. But 2 CONC when in 838 they made common cause with the Britons of the south-west 2 CONC Egbert Defeated them at Hingston Down in Cornwall. In the last battle 2 CONC of his life, Egbert showed that the Danes were vulnerable. 2 CONT 2 CONT Taken from MEDIEVAL HISTORY & CIVILIZATION by Daniel D. McGarry. 2 CONT By the ninth century, Wessex had become the strongest of the 2 CONC Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It came to the fore under EGBERT (r.802-839), 2 CONC who became Bretwalda and is often reckoned as the first King of 2 CONC England. 2 CONT Taken from ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA. 2 CONT EGBERT, d. 839, King of Wessex, laid the foundations for the 2 CONC ascendancy of WESSEX among the English kingdoms. At first an 2 CONC unsuccessful claimant to the Wessex crown, he finally became king in 2 CONC 802. EGBERT Defeated the Mercian king Beornwulf at Ellandune (825) and 2 CONC briefly (828-29) held the kingdom of Mercia itself. He was also 2 CONC recognized as king in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex and received the 2 CONC nominal submission of Northumbria. The later years of his reign were 2 CONC marked by frequent Danish raids on England. 2 CONT Taken from ANNALS AND ANTIQUITIES of The Counties and COUNTYL FAMILIES 2 CONC OF WALES by Thomas Nicholas 2 CONT With the establishment of the kingdom of Mercia the affairs of 2 CONC Flintshire come out to the surface with some distinctness. That before 2 CONC this time the Saxons had ravaged these parts is in some measure proved 2 CONC by the desolating visit of Austin and the hosts of King Ethelbert to 2 CONC Bangor Iscoed in the sixth century. Edwin of Northumbria and Egbert of 2 CONC Wessex, also, who had both effected a kind of temporary conquest in 2 CONC North Wales, doubtless for a time held Flintshire. But Offa made a 2 CONC serious business of the conquest of a portion of the territory, and to 2 CONC this day hasleft obvious proofs of his earnestness and determination 2 CONC in the rampart of "Offa's Dyke," a line of Defence which cut off from 2 CONC the Welsh the best part of the tract now called Flintshire. Whether 2 CONC this vallum, remains of which are traceable from near Caergwrle to the 2 CONC shore near Holywell, is more properly called "Offa's Dyke" or "Watt's 2 CONC Dyke," is a question still sub judice; but be it the one or the other, 2 CONC the work is a monument of most strenuous doings, a long scar on the 2 CONC face of Flintshire reminding us of the bloody onslaughts of King Offa 2 CONC and his Angles. 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 775 2 PLAC Wessex, England 1 DEAT 2 DATE 4 FEB 838/39 1 FAMS @F293@ 1 FAMS @F367@ 1 FAMC @F294@ 1 FAMC @F368@ 0 @I183@ INDI 1 NAME Edith /Of Wessex/ 2 GIVN Edith 2 SURN Of Wessex 1 SEX F 1 _UID 3838928AEF683E449AADD809853E681ED6C6 1 NOTE Known as: Princess Edith of Wessex, Abbess of Pellsworth 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 808 2 PLAC Wessex, England 1 FAMC @F367@ 0 @I184@ INDI 1 NAME Athelstan /Of Wessex/ 2 NPFX Prince of England 2 GIVN Athelstan 2 SURN Of Wessex 1 _UID B82AA8ED432BCA4193E4C12873AA7AFBE234 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 810 2 PLAC Wesex, England 1 FAMC @F367@ 0 @I185@ INDI 1 NAME EAlhmund (Edmund) /Of Kent/ 2 GIVN EAlhmund (Edmund) 2 SURN Of Kent 2 NSFX I 1 SEX M 1 TITL I 1 _UID BF99746E385AF94687F8FBA70F5993688F7D 1 NOTE Edmund was Under King of Eahlmund (Stuart, royalty for Commoners, 2 CONC Page 170, lilne 233-42. 2 CONT 2 CONT Edmund of Kent, Under King of Eahlmund: Eahlmund+Edmund, King of 2 CONC Kent. 2 CONT (Source: Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 170, line 233-42.) 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 758 2 PLAC Wessex, England 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 788 1 FAMS @F294@ 1 FAMS @F368@ 1 FAMC @F316@ 0 @I186@ INDI 1 NAME wife of EAlhmund I /Of Kent/ 2 GIVN wife of EAlhmund I 2 SURN Of Kent 1 SEX F 1 _UID 624BE5E2CE6A2B418C35BFDC79341FBAFAC3 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMS @F368@ 1 FAMC @F369@ 0 @I187@ INDI 1 NAME Ethelbert II /Of Kent/ 2 GIVN Ethelbert II 2 SURN Of Kent 1 SEX M 1 _UID 7CD07A7185204546BC4388551E896EF0488A 1 SOUR @S2@ 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMS @F369@ 0 @I188@ INDI 1 NAME EAlhmund (Edmund) /Of Kent/ 2 GIVN EAlhmund (Edmund) 2 SURN Of Kent 2 NSFX II 1 SEX M 1 TITL II 1 _UID 1DEECD522617324D80A577DB786A66E287F0 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F368@ 0 @I189@ INDI 1 NAME Eoppa /Of Saxony/ 2 GIVN Eoppa 2 SURN Of Saxony 1 SEX M 1 _UID 07914FAD96998C478DE7F1B42EF80C301167 1 NOTE Ingild, son of Cenred and father of Eoppa, did not rule.

December 22: North Carolina’s western lands are ceded to the 2 CONC United States, forming what will become the state of Tennessee. 2 CONT 2 CONT Prepared by Tom Kanon, Tennessee State Library and Archives 2 CONT The War of 1812 was a defining period in the early history of 2 CONC Tennessee. For the first time, Tennessee was thrust into the national 2 CONC spotlight through its political prowess and military victories. When 2 CONC war was declared on Great Britain in June 1812, it was a Tennessean, 2 CONC Congressman Felix Grundy, who was given the lion’s share of credit (or 2 CONC blame) for steering Congress toward a declaration of war against one 2 CONC of the mightiest military powers of the day. Grundy, a Nashville 2 CONC lawyer, along with a group of Democratic-Republicans known as the War 2 CONC Hawks, provided the rhetoric necessary to lead the nation into a 2 CONC conflict that many considered unpopular. Tennessee’s accomplishments 2 CONC on the battlefield during the Creek War (1813-1814) gave the country 2 CONC something to cheer about in a period of otherwise dismal campaigns 2 CONC against the British. And, of course, Andrew Jackson’s stunning victory 2 CONC at New Orleans showed the world that the United States was coming of 2 CONC age and could take its place among the nations of the world. 2 CONT 2 CONT At the onset of the war, the theater of operations was concentrated on 2 CONC the Canadian-American border. Tennessee, eager to get into the fray, 2 CONC offered its services to the government; but distance prevented the 2 CONC state from making any direct contribution. However, when President 2 CONC James Madison called on Tennessee to help defend the "Lower Country," 2 CONC Tennesseans volunteered en masse, earning the nickname "The Volunteer 2 CONC State." Tennessee Governor Willie Blount was asked to send 1,500 2 CONC troops to the defense of New Orleans and/or Mobile. An expedition, 2 CONC under the command of Major General Andrew Jackson, was outfitted in 2 CONC December 1812. 2 CONT 2 CONT Natchez Expedition: 2 CONT (December 1812 - April 1813) 2 CONT The troops were mustered in at Nashville on 10 December 1812 and 2 CONC departed in early January 1813. The expedition consisted of two 2 CONC volunteer regiments, under Colonels Thomas Benton and William Hall, 2 CONC and one regiment of volunteer mounted gunmen under Colonel John 2 CONC Coffee. Coffee’s men rendezvoused at Columbia, Tennessee and marched 2 CONC overland into the Mississippi Territory (now the present-day states of 2 CONC Alabama and Mississippi). The rest of the expedition comprised a 2 CONC flotilla that went down the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers 2 CONC and camped at their final destination near Natchez in mid-February 2 CONC 1813. After lingering there for several weeks, Jackson received orders 2 CONC from the Secretary of War that his services were no longer required 2 CONC and that he was to dismiss his troops. An angry and frustrated Jackson 2 CONC decided to march the army home at his own expense and, by his 2 CONC determined stance, acquired the sobriquet "Old Hickory" along the way. 2 CONC Many of the men who were part of this expedition were called to join 2 CONC the first campaign of the Creek War in September 1813. A journal of 2 CONC the expedition to Natchez (from December 1812 to early March 1813) can 2 CONC be found in John Spenser Bassett’s The Correspondence of Andrew 2 CONC Jackson - Volume I (Washington D.C., 1926). 2 CONT 2 CONT At the same time that West Tennesseans were marching to Natchez, the 2 CONC eastern section of the state made their own contribution with a 2 CONC similar campaign -- this one into Florida. 2 CONT (Note: what was considered West Tennessee in 1812 is now the region of 2 CONC the state called Middle Tennessee. What we now call West Tennessee was 2 CONC Indian land.) 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1763 2 PLAC Rowan Co., North Carolina 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1813 2 PLAC Dickson Co., Tennessee 1 FAMS @F394@ 1 FAMC @F1363@ 0 @I215@ INDI 1 NAME Charles /Banks/ 2 GIVN Charles 2 SURN Banks 2 NSFX II 1 SEX M 1 TITL II 1 _UID 51D2CA5373AD1740B66C42143BF0033B982B 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 10 JUL 1747 2 PLAC Craven Co., North Carolina 1 DEAT 2 DATE AFT 1782 2 PLAC Newberry, South Carolina 1 FAMS @F395@ 1 FAMC @F396@ 0 @I216@ INDI 1 NAME Mary /Gibson/ 2 GIVN Mary 2 SURN Gibson 1 SEX F 1 _UID 737E07E377933E469E8E66C3DA0371798513 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMS @F395@ 0 @I217@ INDI 1 NAME Charles /Banks/ 2 GIVN Charles 2 SURN Banks 2 NSFX I 1 SEX M 1 TITL I 1 _UID F1DC1FE239BD0D4CB8568AE79EC4F9433AEB 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 18 SEP 1716 2 PLAC Prince George, Virginia 1 DEAT 2 DATE AFT 1792 2 PLAC Craven Co., North Carolina 1 FAMS @F396@ 1 FAMC @F397@ 0 @I218@ INDI 1 NAME Susannah /LNU (Banks)/ 2 GIVN Susannah 2 SURN LNU (Banks) 1 SEX F 1 _UID 51C239BFCD08A841A0091BBC1523C22265FC 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMS @F396@ 0 @I219@ INDI 1 NAME James /Banks/ 2 GIVN James 2 SURN Banks 1 SEX M 1 _UID BE964AC511BB794BA52D9CE8B969760AEB91 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1688 2 PLAC Prince George, Virginia 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1733 2 PLAC Prince George, Virginia 1 FAMS @F397@ 0 @I220@ INDI 1 NAME Mary /Turnstall/ 2 GIVN Mary 2 SURN Turnstall 1 SEX F 1 _UID A0DF7B06930C984DA4B6ECBFD860F2974A7E 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 1690 1 FAMS @F397@ 0 @I221@ INDI 1 NAME Oliver Cody (Cody) /Brake/ 2 GIVN Oliver Cody (Cody) 2 SURN Brake 2 NSFX Sr. 1 SEX M 1 TITL Sr. 1 _UID 78C6B7C6CAEAF34FB48160154A931A73C54D 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 2 AUG 1906 2 PLAC Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 DEAT 2 DATE 28 DEC 1976 2 PLAC Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 BURI 2 PLAC Forest Hill Cemetery, Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 FAMS @F401@ 0 @I222@ INDI 1 NAME Patsy Joyce /Brake/ 2 GIVN Patsy Joyce 2 SURN Brake 1 SEX F 1 _UID 3CE7274C75DE994087C18F5AC629B639D15A 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 4 FEB 1932 2 PLAC Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1990 1 BURI 2 PLAC TX 1 FAMS @F575@ 1 FAMC @F401@ 0 @I223@ INDI 1 NAME Oliver Cody (O.C.) /Brake/ 2 GIVN Oliver Cody (O.C.) 2 SURN Brake 2 NSFX Jr. 1 SEX M 1 TITL Jr. 1 _UID E95224640741F84D9DCBDCB000C67D830ACA 1 NOTE Nicknamed "O.C."

In 1771 he removed with 2 CONC his father to the present site of Bristol, Tennessee, and followed 2 CONC with him the business of herding cattle till 1774, when, being 2 CONC appointed lieutenant in his father's company, he served in the battle 2 CONC of Point Pleasant, which he was instrumental in winning. He commanded 2 CONC the fort at that place till July, 1775, when his troops were disbanded 2 CONC by Lord Dunmore, lest they should join the patriot army. During the 2 CONC following year he was employed at surveying in Kentucky, but, his 2 CONC health failing, he returned home in July, 1776, just in time to be at 2 CONC the battle of Long Island fiats. At the first furious onset of the 2 CONC savages, the American lines were broken, and then Shelby, present only 2 CONC as a volunteer private, seized the command, reformed the troops, and 2 CONC inflicted upon the Indians a severe defeat, with the loss of only two 2 CONC men badly wounded. This battle, and John Sevier's defence of Watauga, 2 CONC frustrated the rear attack by which the British hoped to envelop and 2 CONC crush the southern colonies. Soon afterward Governor Patrick Henry 2 CONC promoted Shelby to a captaincy, and made him commissary-general of the 2 CONC Virginia forces. When Sevier, in 1779, projected the expedition that 2 CONC captured the British stores at Chickamauga, Shelby equipped and 2 CONC supplied the troops by the pledge of his individual credit. In this 2 CONC year he was commissioned a major by Governor Thomas Jefferson, but, 2 CONC when the state line was run, his residence was found to be in North 2 CONC Carolina. He then resigned his commission, but was at once appointed 2 CONC to the colonelcy of Sullivan county by Governor Caswell. He was in 2 CONC Kentucky, perfecting his title to lands he had selected on his 2 CONC previous visit, when he heard of the fall of Charleston and the 2 CONC desperate situation of affairs in the southern colonies. He at once 2 CONC returned to engage in active service against the enemy, and, crossing 2 CONC the mountains into South Carolina, in July, 1780, he won victories 2 CONC over the British at Thicketty Fort, Cedar Springs, and Musgrove's 2 CONC Mill. But, as the disastrous defeat at Camden occurred just before the 2 CONC last engagement, he was obliged to retreat across the Alleghanies. 2 CONC There he soon concerted with John Sevier the remarkable expedition 2 CONC which resulted in the battle of King's Mountain, and turned the tide 2 CONC of the Revolution. For this important service he and Sevier received 2 CONC the thanks of the North Carolina legislature, and the vote of a sword 2 CONC and a pair of pistols. Having been elected to the general assembly, 2 CONC Shelby soon afterward left the army to take his seat, but, before he 2 CONC left, suggested to General Horatio Gates the expedition which, carried 2 CONC out by Morgan under General Greene, resulted in the victory at 2 CONC Cowpens. Being soon afterward recalled to South Carolina by General 2 CONC Greene, he marched over the mountains with Colonel Sevier and 500 men, 2 CONC and did important; service against the British in the vicinity of 2 CONC Charleston. In the winter of 1782-'3 he was appointed a commissioner 2 CONC to survey the lands along the Cumberland that were allotted by North 2 CONC Carolina to her soldiers, and this done, he repaired to Boonesborough, 2 CONC Kentucky, where he settled as a planter. He was a delegate to all the 2 CONC early conventions that were held for obtaining the separation of 2 CONC Kentucky from Virginia, and succeeded, in connection with Thomas 2 CONC Marshall and George Muter, in thwarting the treasonable scheme of 2 CONC General James Wilkinson and his associates to force Kentucky out of 2 CONC the Union and into an alliance with Spain. When, in 1792, Kentucky was 2 CONC admitted as a state, Shelby was almost unanimously elected its first 2 CONC governor. During nearly the whole of his administration the western 2 CONC country was in a state of constant irritation, in consequence of the 2 CONC occlusion of the Mississippi by Spain; but, by his firm and sagacious 2 CONC policy, this discontent was kept from breaking out into actual 2 CONC hostilities. Finally, by the treaty of 20 October, 1795, the Spaniards 2 CONC conceded the navigation of that river; and Shelby's term of office 2 CONC expiring soon afterward, he refused to be again a candidate, and 2 CONC returned to the cultivation of the farm which he had reluctantly left 2 CONC at what he deemed the call of his country. He subsequently refused all 2 CONC office except that of presidential elector, to which he was chosen six 2 CONC times successively under Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; but, on the 2 CONC eve of the second war with Great Britain, his state again peremptorily 2 CONC demanded his services. Our first western army had been captured, 2 CONC Michigan was in the hands of the enemy, and the whole frontier was 2 CONC threatened by a strong coalition of savages, armed by Great Britain. 2 CONC Instinctively the people turned to Shelby, and he consented to serve 2 CONC as governor "if there should be a war with England." Organizing a body 2 CONC of 4,000 volunteers, he had them mounted on his own responsibility, 2 CONC and at the age of sixty-three led them in person to the re-enforcement 2 CONC of General William Henry Harrison, whom he joined just in time to 2 CONC enable that general to profit by the victory of Perry on Lake Erie. 2 CONC For his services in this campaign Shelby received a gold medal and the 2 CONC thanks of congress and of the Kentucky legislature. In March, 1817, he 2 CONC was tendered the post of secretary of war by President Monroe; but he 2 CONC declined, and never again held any office except that of commissioner 2 CONC for the purchase from the Chickasaws of their remaining lands in 2 CONC Tennessee and Kentucky. 2 CONT (Edited Appletons Encyclopedia, Copyright © 2001 VirtualologyTM)From 2 CONC the unpublished manuscript, Indian Atrocities Along the Clinch, Powell 2 CONC and Holston Rivers, page 17. 2 CONT 2 CONT After killing John Duncan at Moore's Fort the next strike of Logan, 2 CONC the Mingo Chief, was at the fort of General Evan Shelby, near the 2 CONC present Bristol. At this time General Shelby was away on the Lewis 2 CONC Expedition to Ohio. On October 6, 1774, the Indians captured a slave 2 CONC girl belonging to Shelby. 2 CONT 2 CONT In a letter dated October 9, 1774, Major Arthur Campbell reports the 2 CONC raid on Shelby's settlement in this manner: 2 CONT 2 CONT On last Thursday evening, ye 6th instant, the Indians took a Negro 2 CONC wench prisoner, belonging to Captain Evan Shelby, within 300 yards of 2 CONC his home. After they took her some distance, they examined her, asking 2 CONC how many guns were in the fort and other questions relative to the 2 CONC strength of the place. They asked her if the store was kept there now. 2 CONC After they had carried her off about a mile, they saw or heard a boy 2 CONC coming from the mill; they immediately tied the wench and went off to 2 CONC catch the boy. While they were gone the wench luckily got loose and 2 CONC made her escape. She says they knocked her down twice when she refused 2 CONC to tell in what situation the fort was; and she says one was a large 2 CONC man much whiter than the rest, and talked good English. It was the 2 CONC same kind of person Mr. Blackmore saw in pursuit of the Negro he 2 CONC relieved. (1) 2 CONT 2 CONT (1) Calender Virginia State Papers, Draper Mss 3 QQ. 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT (Liberation of Georgia) 2 CONT Georgia militia were called on by Col. Isaac Shelby of North Carolina 2 CONC to assist in driving the British from an encampment at Musgrove's Mill 2 CONC on the Enoree River. Elijah Clarke answered this call with some 300 2 CONC men, and helped Shelby rout the British foes on August 17, 1780. 2 CONC Clarke suffered a serious wound during the battle. His return trip 2 CONC took him through South Carolina, where he meted out justice to the 2 CONC Tory occupiers. Clarke returned home and after a brief rest reformed 2 CONC his brigade to attack Augusta. Clarke nearly succeeded in taking 2 CONC Augusta from Loyalist Thomas Brown, but was stymied when British 2 CONC Regulars arrived from Ninety-six in support of Brown's militia. 2 CONT 2 CONT Since the defeat of the Continental Army at Savannah the British had 2 CONC been trying to make inroads with the farmers in the Georgia 2 CONC backcountry. Repeated attempts to disarm those not trusted by the 2 CONC British and Tories met with little success. These soldiers and militia 2 CONC met Whig resistance with force, killing men, assaulting women and 2 CONC children, and destroying property. As Clarke returned from his near 2 CONC victory at Augusta he stumbled upon a group of some 400 backcountry 2 CONC women and children who were fleeing the ravages of these British and 2 CONC Tory soldiers. He and his men escorted them to the Watauga Valley of 2 CONC North Carolina (now Tennessee), firmly in the control of the Whigs 2 CONC whom he had aided at Musgrove's Mill. Clarke's militia then joined 2 CONC Thomas Sumter to win the battle of Blackstock (variously described as 2 CONC a ferry, a plantation or a farm), defeating Tarleton Banistre on 2 CONC November 20, 1780. Returning to Georgia his men dispersed for Winter. 2 CONC Spring would bring better news. 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 11 DEC 1750 2 PLAC North Mountain, Frederick Co., Maryland 1 DEAT 2 DATE 18 JUL 1826 2 PLAC Lincoln Co., KY near Stanford 1 EVEN 1st Governor of KY 2 TYPE Elected 2 DATE BET 1792 AND 1796 2 PLAC KY 1 EVEN 5th Governor of KY 2 TYPE Elected 2 DATE BET 1812 AND 1816 2 PLAC KY 1 FAMS @F405@ 1 FAMC @F402@ 0 @I240@ INDI 1 NAME James /Shelby/ 2 GIVN James 2 SURN Shelby 1 SEX M 1 _UID 110AAE2B506E6145ACC42ABF70A455E5FFB8 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 29 DEC 1752 2 PLAC Frederick Co, MD. 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1783 2 PLAC Near Crab Orchard Springs, Lincoln Co., Kentucky 1 FAMC @F402@ 0 @I241@ INDI 1 NAME Catherine /Shelby/ 2 GIVN Catherine 2 SURN Shelby 1 SEX F 1 _UID 795D13D67BB3E94FA2FF04497D0255B29925 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 27 FEB 1755 1 DEAT 2 DATE AFT 1833 1 FAMC @F402@ 0 @I242@ INDI 1 NAME Evan /Shelby/ 2 GIVN Evan 2 SURN Shelby 2 NSFX III 1 SEX M 1 TITL III 1 _UID E5518852E86D0A4EB4F4F3EF5789783BDA25 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 27 FEB 1757 2 PLAC MD 1 DEAT 2 DATE 18 JAN 1793 2 PLAC Cheatham Co., Tennessee 1 FAMC @F402@ 0 @I243@ INDI 1 NAME Kenneth Patrick (Pat) /Barker/ 2 GIVN Kenneth Patrick (Pat) 2 SURN Barker 1 SEX M 1 _UID 82DE6260D7543948B279F071B642CE5E7E1C 1 NOTE Occupation: Salesman 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 14 MAY 1950 2 PLAC Anniston, Alabama 1 OBJE 2 FORM jpg 2 FILE C:\Documents and Settings\Martha\My Documents\PHOTOGRAPHS\My Pictures\HERRON\PagePhotos\84aPage & Patrick Barker, 1998.jpg 2 TITL K.

He 2 CONC was funny and always full of energy. He worked for the Selma Police 2 CONC Dept. most of his life. My favorite photograph of him was made 2 CONC probably in the early thirties. He is standing beside his old jalopy 2 CONC (probably a Ford) with his badge on and his pistol, in its holster, 2 CONC strapped to his hip. I called him the Law of Dallas County. 2 CONT 2 CONT When he was in his late eighties he called me on the phone one night. 2 CONC I hadn't heard from him in years. He just wanted to see how I was 2 CONC doing, he said. Dinkey, his wife, had been dead for a while so he 2 CONC was living alone in his own home. He told me that he was still 2 CONC independent but that Betty, his daughter, came over to check on him 2 CONC now and then. A few days back, he said, he was up on his roof 2 CONC straightening his TV antenae when Betty drove up to check on him. He 2 CONC hid behind the antenae so she wouldn't see that he was on the roof 2 CONC because she would read him the "riot act". We both had a great laugh. 2 CONC He was still like a little boy doing whatever he wanted and avoiding 2 CONC being caught. 2 CONT 2 CONT In the 60s Uncle John participated in the "March to Selma" led by Dr. 2 CONC Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a mounted policeman, at the time, and 2 CONC very proud of it. Dr. King with his followers led everyone over the 2 CONC Edmund Pettus Bridge, which my grandfather John Philbert Cross, and 2 CONC his sons, including my father, had participated in building. The 2 CONC bridge opened in 1940 just three years following my birth. 2 CONT 2 CONT When I was 18 months to 3 years, my father, mother and I lived in 2 CONC Selma. When the rains came, the Alabama River would flood it's banks. 2 CONC The house we lived in was built on stilts so that the flood waters 2 CONC could run under the house. After a flood, water moccasins and other 2 CONC water snakes were everywhere. Needless to say, I was not allowed out 2 CONC of the house. 2 CONT 2 CONT Also, following floods, my father and others from the area would have 2 CONC to go to the cemeteries and rebury the caskets and bodies because the 2 CONC floods would soften the earth so much that they would float up to the 2 CONC top of the ground. It eventually became a law that concrete covers 2 CONC had to be placed over all caskets so that this would continue to 2 CONC occur. 2 CONT 2 CONT Selma was essentially an arsenal during the Civil War. There were 2 CONC many battles there. When I was I child I remember seeing cannon ball 2 CONC damage to the pillars of the old Courthouse. 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 26 APR 1906 2 PLAC Erin, Houston Co., TN. 1 DEAT 2 DATE 6 OCT 2000 2 PLAC Selma, Dallas Co, Alabama 1 BURI 2 PLAC New Live Oak Cemetery, Selma, Dallas Co., Alabama 1 OBJE 2 FORM jpg 2 FILE C:\Documents and Settings\Martha\My Documents\PHOTOGRAPHS\My Pictures\CROSS\Cross,JohnNoilFam\11.John Noil Cross as the Law of Dallas County 1920's.jpg 2 TITL John Noil Cross 2 _SCBK Y 2 _PRIM Y 2 _TYPE PHOTO 1 FAMS @F408@ 1 FAMC @F190@ 0 @I266@ INDI 1 NAME Alma Ruth /Cross/ 2 GIVN Alma Ruth 2 SURN Cross 1 SEX F 1 _UID E854ED55A9C331498A56BC23629D8CF7A5AA 1 NOTE Social Security #420-24-7675 2 CONT Last Residence: 35206,Birmingham, Jefferson Co., AL 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 17 SEP 1909 2 PLAC Erin, Houston Co., TN. 1 DEAT 2 DATE 13 JUN 1980 2 PLAC Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 BURI 2 PLAC Forest Hill Cemetery, Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 OBJE 2 FORM jpg 2 FILE C:\Documents and Settings\Martha\My Documents\PHOTOGRAPHS\My Pictures\CROSS\Cross,AlmaRuthBrakeFam\1.Alma Ruth & Cody Brake.jpg 2 TITL Alma Ruth Cross and Cody Brake 2 _SCBK Y 2 _PRIM Y 2 _TYPE PHOTO 1 FAMS @F401@ 1 FAMC @F190@ 0 @I267@ INDI 1 NAME Bossell /Cross/ 2 GIVN Bossell 2 SURN Cross 1 SEX M 1 _UID D2E4D02CBFE63542A588BE40E5D2A3B205E8 1 NOTE Social Security #417-09-8412 2 CONT Last place of residence: 35220 Birmingham, Jefferson Co., AL 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 22 AUG 1911 2 PLAC Erin, Houston Co., TN. 1 DEAT 2 DATE 7 NOV 1987 2 PLAC Birmingham, Jefferson Co., Alabama 1 BURI 2 PLAC Chalkville Baptist Church Cemetery, (Old Springville Rd.)

These old folks were happily married 64 years ago, on a cold 2 CONC December night about twelve o'clock. They danced until midnight and 2 CONC then ate supper and danced on. For their supper they had cilloububs, 2 CONC most everyone wonders what that is. [Webster's has "syllabub": 1. a 2 CONC drink or dessert made by curdling milk or cream with acid (as wine or 2 CONC cider) 2. a desert of sweetened milk or cream beaten to a froth and 2 CONC flavored with wine or liquor.] They made their home in Clay County [in 2 CONC Randolph Co., AL census records 1860 through 1880] until 1883, when 2 CONC they moved to Sand Mountain [th Albertville area of Marshall Co., AL] 2 CONC in covered wagons which brought them here after five days journey. 2 CONC They've been in this place for 52 years. They have three children, 19 2 CONC grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren. Uncle Jack has made a crop 2 CONC for 65 years. He had a small crop of two acres this year, he plowed, 2 CONC hoed, picked part of the crop.... When they came here they lived in a 2 CONC log cabin, which now stands as a barn.

By 1880, 2 CONC Robert had apparently moved his family to Clay Co., AL R. J. Culpepper 2 CONC was noted with his wife and younger children in Wesobulga District, 2 CONC Clay Co., AL in 1880 census records. 2 CONT 2 CONT According to an article from the Guntersville Advertiser 10 Oct 1916, 2 CONC Robert J. Culpepper and his wife had moved to the Sand Mountain area 2 CONC of Marshall Co., AL 28 years previously. This would have been 2 CONC approximately 1888. A son, John James Culpepper, located his family in 2 CONC what is known today as Albertville, Marshall Co., AL.. Other members 2 CONC of the extended family settled across the county line in Joppa, 2 CONC Cullman Co., AL. Unfortunately, the 1890 U. S. census burned and so it 2 CONC is not possible to see exactly how everyone was situated at the time. 2 CONC What is known is that, according to her obituary, Mrs. R. J. (Louraney 2 CONC Cardwell) Culpepper died in Joppa, Cullman Co., AL in 1894. After the 2 CONC death of his wife, Robert apparently split his time at the residences 2 CONC of his children. Robert J. Culpepper was noted in Albertville, 2 CONC Marshall Co, AL in the 1900 census. He was listed as having been born 2 CONC Jul 1828 although, since he was not noted in the 1830 census and was 2 CONC listed in later census records as being age 19, 30, 40 and 49, the 2 CONC 1828 reference can be discounted. Robert Jefferson Culpepper's 2 CONC daughter, Arkansas (Culpepper) Williams, and her two young sons, 2 CONC "Larkis" and "Charlie," were living with him. In 1910, Robert was 2 CONC still living in Marshall Co., AL was noted in the Marshall Co., AL 2 CONC census living with his son, John J. Culpepper. A great-granddaughter, 2 CONC Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, wrote, 19 Jan 1979: He carved & made fancy 2 CONC furniture, beautiful beds among other things. He had a collection of 2 CONC old guns.... He had a hobby of keeping a diary, of the weather and 2 CONC happenings of the day.... My Grandpa Jack [John James Culpepper] & 2 CONC family along with Ole E Pa & family all moved here to Sand Mt. from 2 CONC Randolph or Clay [the family was in Clay Co., AL in the 1880 census] 2 CONC in covered wagons in 1883.... Ole E Pa Jeff... walked lots of miles 2 CONC almost every day, even in his 80's.... One more thing about Ole E Pa 2 CONC Jeff, he carved and made spinning wheels to spin yarn then weave it 2 CONC into yarn for cloth in those days." 2 CONT 2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce added in s 23 Apr 1993 letter that "Robert 2 CONC Jefferson Culpepper carved and made furniture in his younger days - 2 CONC beautiful pieces - and each piece painted black." 20 Jan 1979, Mary 2 CONC Lillian wrote that her great-grandfather had lived with her 2 CONC grandparents in the same house that she is living in now: Lola Martin 2 CONC said Ole E Pa Jeff's room was upstairs, steps are steep here and only 2 CONC heat he had up there & light was a lantern. Scratches are still on the 2 CONC wall up there where he would strike a match to light the kerosene 2 CONC lantern. Was a stacked chimney in the middle of the house, heat from 2 CONC it helped keep the walls of that little room warm.

Scratches are still on the 2 CONC wall. I painted or painted part of that little room up stairs a few 2 CONC yrs ago, and it's hard to find the scratches now. 2 CONT 2 CONT According to a great-granddaughter, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, Robert 2 CONC Jefferson Culpepper received a monthly pension of $15.00 from the 2 CONC State of Alabama for his Civil War service. In a 3 Sep 1994 phone 2 CONC conversation, Mary Lillian noted that her great-grandfather would buy 2 CONC a gallon of "white whiskey" with 15 cents from his Confederate Pension 2 CONC money and add a teaspoon of it to his breakfast coffee "instead of 2 CONC cream" to make "Lace Coffee." The following is from the 10 Oct 1916 2 CONC issue of the Guntersville Advertiser published in Guntersville, 2 CONC Marshall Co, AL: R.J. Culpepper is 86 years old and enjoys good health 2 CONC for a man of his age. He has lived on Sand mountain 28 years [arriving 2 CONC circa 1888]. Uncle Jeff as he is familiarly called, has 8 living 2 CONC children, 53 grandchildren, 98 great grandchildren and 3 great great 2 CONC grandchildren, which is, we believe, getting pretty close to the 2 CONC record in this county. 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert Jefferson Culpepper died three years later, apparently while 2 CONC visiting his grandson, Charlie J. Williams, across the county line in 2 CONC Joppa, Cullman Co., AL. Two days later, Charlie wrote his 2 CONC half-brother, Larcus Culpepper who, according to Mary Lillian, was 2 CONC living in Texas: larcus I am Very Sorry But he had to go Some time and 2 CONC I guess now was as good time as eny they beried him at Corinth [south 2 CONC of Joppa, Cullman Co., AL] and then they taking up granma and moved 2 CONC here [her] up there and Beried her Beside him.... he was awfull Bad 2 CONC and he died that night about twelve oclock..... 2 CONT 2 CONT Mary Lillian added in a 18 Jan 1979 letter: Great Grandpa Jeff has a 2 CONC war emblem by his tomb shaped like a 3 or 4 leaf clover, made of iron 2 CONC or steel.

If Louraney had 2 CONC been born in 1834, she would have been 14 years old when she married, 2 CONC not impossible for the times, but unlikely since no parent gave 2 CONC permission for the marriage based on the marriage record. Also, two 2 CONC years later, in the 1850 census, Louraney was listed as being 18 years 2 CONC old which would suggest a birth year of 1832. In the 1860 census, she 2 CONC age was listed as being 27 years of age, which, depending on when the 2 CONC census was taken, could still support an 1832 date of birth or an 1833 2 CONC date of birth. In the 1870 census, her age was given as 39, which 2 CONC would suggest an 1830 or 1831 year of birth. Finally, in the 1880 2 CONC census, Louraney's age was given as 45. This would suggest a date of 2 CONC birth of 1834 or 1835. Louraney was probably born in 1832. 2 CONT 2 CONT Although Louraney had been born in Georgia, by 1848 she had moved, 2 CONC presumably with her parents, to Chambers Co., AL since this is where 2 CONC she married. She is found in the 1850 census of Chambers Co., AL with 2 CONC her husband. By 1860, Robert Jefferson and Louraney had moved their 2 CONC family to Randolph Co., AL where they remained until after the 1870 2 CONC census. By the 1880 census the family had moved on to Clay Co., AL 2 CONC where "Lurana" was recorded with her husband, R. J. Culpepper, and 2 CONC younger children in Wesobulga Beat 4. According to Mary Lillian Butler 2 CONC Pierce, Louraney and Robert Jefferson moved with their son, John James 2 CONC Culpepper, to the Sand Mountain area of Marshall Co., AL. Some of the 2 CONC extended family settled across the county line in Joppa, Cullman Co., 2 CONC AL. Since the 1890 U. S. census burned we do not know exactly where 2 CONC everyone was situated at this point but according to her obituary, 2 CONC Louraney died in 1894 while living with or visiting children and 2 CONC grandchildren who were living in Joppa, Cullman Co., AL. The following 2 CONC obituary preserved by great-granddaughter, Mrs. J. E.

Mrs. Culpepper 2 CONC joined the Methodist Church South in 1872, and from that time on, she 2 CONC lived an humble, christian life. She dearly loved her church, and was 2 CONC untiring in her efforts to promote the cause of Christ. Mrs. Culpepper 2 CONC was the mother of eleven children, two have preceded her to the 2 CONC Heavenly Land, while nine are left to mourn their loss, but their loss 2 CONC is her eternal gain, for she has gone where sorrow, pain, sickness and 2 CONC death are felt and feared no more.

November 4, 1797 on Saturday at 10 o'clock A.M. 2 CONT 2 CONT John Jefferson's parents are believed to have been living in 2 CONC Orangeburg District, SC at the time of his birth in an area which was 2 CONC designated Lexington District in the 1800 census and which later 2 CONC became Lexington Co., SC. In the 1800 census, John Jefferson's father, 2 CONC John Culpepper, was listed as a head of household with his young 2 CONC family, including, John Jefferson Culpepper, in Lexington District, 2 CONC SC. By 1810, John Jefferson's parents had moved the family back across 2 CONC the Congaree River to Richland District, SC. Possibly this took place 2 CONC in 1807 when John Jefferson's father, John was made an administrator 2 CONC of Daniel Peek's estate. John Jefferson was recorded with his parents 2 CONC in the 1810 census of Richland District, SC. Some time after this 2 CONC census, John Jefferson would have moved with his parents to Edgefield 2 CONC District, SC which shared a portion of its eastern border with 2 CONC Lexington District, SC. 2 CONT 2 CONT Although no record has been found, John Jefferson Culpepper is 2 CONC believed to have married Catherine Bell by 1816 in Edgefield District, 2 CONC SC where their parents owned land. A son, born circa 1817, gave his 2 CONC place of birth as Georgia in the 1850 census. Although it is possible 2 CONC that the couple moved to Georgia and returned by 1820 when their next 2 CONC child was born, it is more likely that the son, who was not living 2 CONC near his parents at the time of the 1850 census, simply knew that he 2 CONC had grown up in Georgia and said that he had been born there. 2 CONC Unfortunately, neither John Jefferson nor his father, John Culpepper, 2 CONC has been located as a head of household in the 1820 census of South 2 CONC Carolina or Georgia. However, since John Culpepper, Senior was granted 2 CONC land in Edgefield District, SC in 1814 and he sold land there in 1823, 2 CONC the family is presumed to have still been in South Carolina in 1820 2 CONC and it is possible that John Jefferson and Catherine were still in 2 CONC Edgefield District, SC in 1820 as well, living near Catherine's 2 CONC widowed mother, Barbary Bell, but overlooked in the census. 2 CONT 2 CONT John Jefferson's father, John Culpepper, is known to have moved his 2 CONC family to Georgia when son, Lewis P. Culpepper, was about seven years 2 CONC old meaning that the family probably moved in the Fall of 1823. John 2 CONC Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper presumably moved their young 2 CONC family to Georgia about this same time although when Barbary Bell, 2 CONC Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's mother, died in 1826, John Jefferson and 2 CONC his wife apparently returned to South Carolina to settle the estate. 2 CONT 2 CONT A land lottery was held in Georgia in 1827. In order to take part in 2 CONC the lottery, John J. Culpepper would have to have been in Georgia for 2 CONC at least three years, i.e., at least since April 1824. As a married 2 CONC man and a citizen of the United States and who had lived in Georgia 2 CONC for three years, John Jefferson would have been eligible for two draws 2 CONC in the lottery. According to Land Lottery Register No. 11 published by 2 CONC Grantland & Orme, on April 2, 1827 "John J. Culpepper" from Captain 2 CONC Turner's District, Monroe Co., GA drew lot #230 which was 202 ½ acres 2 CONC in District 5 of Section 1, Lee Co., GA. The land was in Randolph 2 CONC County, GA when John sold it: "JOHN J. CULPEPPER of Upson Co. to 2 CONC REUBEN BYNAM of Randolph Co. Lot #230, 5th 2 CONT Dist.

The older boy has not been identified. If 2 CONC a son, then John Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper would have 2 CONC to have married when they were 11-16 years of age and the son has not 2 CONC been identified in later census records. But the age would also match 2 CONC that of John Jefferson Culpepper's younger brother, William Henry 2 CONC Culpepper, who has not been found in the 1830 census and who married 2 CONC in 1831 in Upson Co., GA. 2 CONT 2 CONT As a fortunate drawer in the 1827 lottery, it is not clear that John 2 CONC Jefferson Culpepper was eligible for the 1832 Gold Lottery unless for 2 CONC some reason he was considered NOT to have "taken out a grant for said 2 CONC land lot." In any event "John J. Culpepper" won Gold Lot 380 in 2 CONC district 19 of section 3. This would have been a 40 acre lot near the 2 CONC lower center border of Paulding Co., GA. It is not known if John 2 CONC Jefferson ever mined his Paulding Co., GA land or if he sold it but by 2 CONC 1840 he had moved on to Chambers Co., AL. Possibly the family moved in 2 CONC 1835 or 1836 along with John J. Culpepper's brothers, Francis and 2 CONC James. Or perhaps the family moved in 1837 after the marriage of John 2 CONC Jefferson's son, John J. Culpepper. The elder John J. Culpepper was 2 CONC listed in the 1840 census of Chambers Co., AL. One male and one female 2 CONC 40-50 were recorded, presumably John and his wife, Catherine. Two 2 CONC males 5-10 and one female 15-20 were listed in the household, 2 CONC presumably the three younger children, Robert, William and Elizabeth. 2 CONC The "John J. Culpepper" recorded in the 1840 census of Upson Co., GA 2 CONC (1m 0-5 1m 20-30 1f 15-20), was a son of John Jefferson and Catherine 2 CONC (Bell) Culpepper who was born approximately 1817, who married 2 CONC Elizabeth Stallings in 1837, and who would have had a son, Lewis L. 2 CONC Culpepper, who would have been approximately two years old in 1840. 2 CONC The John Jefferson Culpepper family remained in Chambers Co., AL at 2 CONC least until 1850 when John Culpepper was listed as a farmer in the 2 CONC 1850 Chambers Co., AL census with his wife, Catherine, and son, 2 CONC William. Their daughter, Elizabeth, who had married Robert Johnson, 2 CONC was living next door. 2 CONT 2 CONT In the 1850 census, John Jefferson Culpepper was listed as having real 2 CONC estate valued at $300. However, 22 Aug 1850 "John J. Culpepper" bought 2 CONC or was granted 139 46/100 acres of land (Certificate or Warrant 2 CONC 68.157) in the South East part of Section 3 of Township 22 South, 2 CONC Range 10 East of Randolph Co., AL. This land appears to be to the 2 CONC northwest of what is now Wadley and southeast of Almond. The land 2 CONC appears to be split from the southeast corner to the northwest corner 2 CONC by route 77. Presumably, John Jefferson Culpepper moved with his wife 2 CONC and youngest sons to Randolph Co., AL about this time. However, the 2 CONC second marriage of William Washington Culpepper, John Jefferson and 2 CONC Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's youngest son, took place in Chambers Co., 2 CONC AL Dec 1855 at the home of William's brother, Robert J. Culpepper, and 2 CONC John Jefferson Culpepper was a bondsman. Possibly, since John 2 CONC Jefferson lived close to the Chambers Co., AL border, he just went 2 CONC back for the occasion. In 1860, John J. Culpepper was listed with his 2 CONC wife, Catherine, and grandson, John J. Culpepper, at Almond P. O. near 2 CONC Louina (now Wadley), Randolph Co., AL. John J. Culpepper was listed in 2 CONC the 1870 census of Louina P. O. (now Wadley) Randolph Co., AL. John 2 CONC was living near the families of his two sons, Robert and William and a 2 CONC grandson, John Jr. According to p. 112 of Historical Records of 2 CONC Randolph County, Alabama 1832-1900 from the 12 Feb 1875 issue of the 2 CONC Randolph Enterprise the following had their land sold for taxes: On 2 CONC March 1, 1875 the property belonging to the following named persons 2 CONC was to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder from the Court 2 CONC House in Wedowee... BEAT VIII _____Township 21, Range 10... John J. 2 CONC Culpepper... W. W. Culpepper.... 2 CONT 2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper would have been 77 years old when he lost 2 CONC this land which was north of the land he purchased or was granted in 2 CONC 1850 and John Jefferson apparently still owned land nearby since he 2 CONC was noted in the 1880 census of Randolph Co., AL. John William 2 CONC Culpepper wrote in an 18 Aug 1994 letter that Mrs. John (Edith 2 CONC Champion) Zuber, a great-great granddaughter of John Jefferson 2 CONC Culpepper, told him that John Jefferson Culpepper lived on the land 2 CONC which Mrs. Zuber's mother's sold in 1950. 2 CONT 2 CONT John William Culpepper wrote 18 Aug 1994 that he had located Mrs. John 2 CONC (Edith Champion) Zuber, a great-great-granddaughter of John Jefferson 2 CONC Culpepper. John William believes that the land that Edith's mother, 2 CONC Mrs. M. A. (Inez Culpepper) Champion, sold in 1950 was the land that 2 CONC had originally belonged to John Jefferson Culpepper's father, John 2 CONC Culpepper. The land appears to have been a 58.84 acre lot which was 2 CONC noted as Fraction C of section 14 in Township 22 Range 10 of Randolph 2 CONC Co., AL. The land is south of Wadley on the Chambers County line and 2 CONC Route 22 crosses diagonally through the bottom half of the land. It 2 CONC was originally granted to William Culpepper 21 Feb 1850. Mrs. 2 CONC Champion's grandfather, William Washington Culpepper, a son of John 2 CONC Jefferson Culpepper, would have been only 15 years old at that date so 2 CONC it is assumed that William Henry Culpepper, John Jefferson Culpepper's 2 CONC brother, was granted the land. John Culpepper, Sr. is known from 2 CONC census records to have been living near present day Wadley in 1850 and 2 CONC an extant letter from him to a son, Francis G. Culpepper, indicates 2 CONC that he owned land in the area but only his sons show up in land 2 CONC records. Since John Culpepper, Sr. had "broken up housekeeping" by 2 CONC 1853, it is assumed that he was living on one of the parcels that was 2 CONC in the name of one of his sons. John William wrote of a visit to Mrs. 2 CONC Champion's former property: You will see that rt. 22 leaves Wadley in 2 CONC a Southwesternly direction. The home of current residents, Mr. and 2 CONC Mrs. J. T. Edge, is approximately 3/4 of a mile from Wadley, on Rt. 22 2 CONC [near the Chambers Co., AL line]. I don't know how far east the 2 CONC property extends [it appears to extend to a point where a secondary 2 CONC road branches south to Chambers Co., AL], but I believe it extends 2 CONC north to Hutton Creek [it appears to cover about 2/3 of the distance 2 CONC from the Chambers Co., AL border to Hutton Creek].... Mrs. John Zuber, 2 CONC (Edith Champion Zuber) daughter of Inez Culpepper Champion [Mrs. M. A. 2 CONC Champion], daughter of Robert Benjamin Culpepper, son of William 2 CONC Washington Culpepper, son of John Jefferson Culpepper advises that her 2 CONC mother sold the property to Mrs. Edge's father in the 1950's.... She 2 CONC said that John Jefferson Culpepper lived at the place with his wife 2 CONC and two sons and remained there after their sons moved to Sand 2 CONC Mountain [Marshall Co., AL]. John and his wife are buried at the 2 CONC Concord Baptist Church Cemetery, located half way between Wadley and 2 CONC Roanoke, Alabama [John Jefferson Culpepper and his wife, Catherine, 2 CONC are not listed in an index to Concord Church Cemetery records possibly 2 CONC because the graves were unmarked or because the markings can no longer 2 CONC be read].... Mrs. Zuber stated that her mother lived at the home place 2 CONC until her husband died and a few years after but found it too much 2 CONC work and moved. It was after she moved that the house on Rt. 22 burned 2 CONC to the ground. 2 CONT 2 CONT In a 3 May 1994 letter, John William Culpepper wrote of attempting to 2 CONC locate the location of the house: We located the owner of the property 2 CONC and his wife a Mr. J. T. Edge and his wife Marian.... J. T. Edge took 2 CONC up back of his home over a hill and a short way down the other side of 2 CONC a dirt road where a house used to be. We found the well and a few 2 CONC cedar trees but no visible ground parks of a home. This was the 2 CONC location site mentioned by a lady they talked with who identified the 2 CONC Edge Place as being the former Culpepper property and residence of 2 CONC John and Nancy [Nancy appears to have died in Georgia before John came 2 CONC to Alabama]. We noticed that about 150 yards east of the Edge house, 2 CONC which fronts on State route 22, there stands two tall rock chimneys 2 CONC approximately 45 to 50 feet apart. He took us to the site and said the 2 CONC log house was large with a dog trot in the middle and when they came 2 CONC here there were people still living in the house. He said a nearby 2 CONC well which was covered with branches is 90 feet deep. The Edge house 2 CONC is the location of the original house but a few feet further back from 2 CONC the semi circular drive. The original house burned and scorched the 2 CONC nearby trees which he said were planted by Charles Culpepper the 2 CONC botanist who moved to the Washington area. The old road used to go 2 CONC between the inside of the drive and the current road, Rt. 22. Facing 2 CONC the Edge home on the left of the house but on the other side of the 2 CONC old road was a carriage shop and on the east side of the drive was a 2 CONC blacksmith shop. Mr. Edge said the property was a Culpepper land 2 CONC grant.... 2 CONT 2 CONT Mrs. Deam and Mrs. Sisco preserved the Bible record of John Jefferson 2 CONC Culpepper's death: d. May 4, 1885. 2 CONT 2 CONT The Concord Baptist Church cemetery is about 3 ½ miles east of where 2 CONC John Jefferson Culpepper was living, on Route 22, on the opposite side 2 CONC of the Tallapoosa River. It is on the same side of the river as the 2 CONC now defunct town of Louina which was replaced about 1900 as a 2 CONC population center by Wadley on the opposite of the river. Is it 2 CONC possible that this is also where John Culpepper was buried? 2 CONT 2 CONT Photograph: say 1855, Randolph Co., AL, This photo was provided by 2 CONC Mary Lillian Butler Pierce (1915-2000) of Albertville, and later of 2 CONC Huntsville, AL.

The land mentioned in the deed was on Cuffeeton 2 CONC Creek by Josiah Langley's Mill bounding Elijah Harding, Benjamin 2 CONC Hasting and Geo.

Hugh Mosely and Henry Shelnut were 2 CONC witnesses and releases were signed by Catherine Culpepper wife of John 2 CONC J.

Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam of Gay, GA, a descendant of 2 CONC Joel Culpepper, John's oldest son, preserved a copy of family records 2 CONC which were supposed to have been in the Bible. Mrs. D. W. (Lavyn 2 CONC Wright) Sisco transcribed Mrs. Deam's records which began with the 2 CONC record of the marriage of John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper 2 CONC followed by the note: John Culpepper was born on October 1, 1772 2 CONT 2 CONT Full death dates were recorded for John and Nancy (Gillespie) 2 CONC Culpepper and all of their children except for William Henry and Lewis 2 CONC Peek Culpepper. A note was made after William Henry's birth record 2 CONC noting that he had died "1909 Randolph County Alabama." The note after 2 CONC Lewis Peek Culpepper's birth record read "Living in Chambers Co." So 2 CONC the record appears to have been copied sometime after 1909 and before 2 CONC 1915 when Lewis Peek Culpepper died. The Bible is not known to be in 2 CONC the possession of any of the descendants of William Henry or Lewis 2 CONC Peek Culpepper or of Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam. There is a possibility 2 CONC that the Bible was still in existence 8 Oct 1942 when Rev. George 2 CONC Bright Culpepper wrote "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" a 25 page typed, 2 CONC double-spaced summary of the descendants of Daniel Peek Culpepper. 2 CONC Rev. Culpepper wrote about Daniel Peek Culpepper's father: John 2 CONC William Culpepper was born in Richland District, fork of the Congaree 2 CONC and Wateree Rivers, South Carolina, October 1, 1772, according to the 2 CONC record in his family Bible, set down in his own hand. 2 CONT 2 CONT The statement raises several questions, one of which is, did Rev. 2 CONC Culpepper have the Bible when he wrote this or was he working from a 2 CONC copy of the record or from other notes. Rev. Culpepper later made 2 CONC reference to "my scrapbook" which had information about the family. A 2 CONC granddaughter of Rev. Culpepper, Mrs. J. D. (Dorothy Culpepper) 2 CONC Wingfield, wrote 12 May 1993 that "I have no idea whether Geo. B. ever 2 CONC had possession of that bible." 2 CONT A second problem is that only two copies of John Culpepper's signature 2 CONC are known to exist. On an 1807 bond which was included in the estate 2 CONC papers of Daniel Peak/Peek, John signed his name "John Culpeper" but 2 CONC in 1853, he signed his name "John Culpepper" on a letter to his son, 2 CONC Francis G. Culpepper. Otherwise the signatures are the same. Spelling 2 CONC was in a state of flux during John Culpepper's lifetime and it was 2 CONC considered a sign of education if one was able to spell the same word 2 CONC several different ways. But apparently, by the end of his life, John 2 CONC had settled on the Culpepper spelling. Neither signature had a middle 2 CONC initial. As noted above, Rev. George B. Culpepper specified that 2 CONC John's name was "John William Culpepper" "according to the record in 2 CONC his family Bible, set down in his own hand." But the record copied by 2 CONC Mrs. Deam and Mrs. Sisco gave the name as "John Culpepper." Where did 2 CONC the "William" come from? Joseph Richard Culpepper, a grandson of John 2 CONC Culpepper, had gotten a copy of a "history" that was being circulated 2 CONC in various branches of the family which showed that the family 2 CONC descended from a "John Marlo Culpeper" who was alleged to have been 2 CONC the John Culpeper of Culpeper's Rebellion and "first cousin to Lord 2 CONC Culpepper (Colepepper) who was Gov. of Virginia." The list continued 2 CONC down through "John William Culpepper" born "1774" a son of "Charles 2 CONC Marion Culpepper." Joseph Richard Culpepper puzzled over this document 2 CONC and did not know what to make of it. Finally, as Joseph Richard 2 CONC Culpepper noted in a letter to his cousin, Rev. George Bright 2 CONC Culpepper: I wrote to Father [Lewis Peek Culpepper] asking him to give 2 CONC me all the information he could relative to his father, grandfather, 2 CONC etc. He knows nothing farther back than his grandfather who was John 2 CONC instead of Charles Marion.... He says there were three brothers, John, 2 CONC Ben and Joseph. John was my great grandfather as was Joseph, also, on 2 CONC my mother's side.... John William was my father's father and your 2 CONC father's grandfather.... 2 CONT 2 CONT If only we had the letter that Lewis Peek Culpepper wrote to his son, 2 CONC we might be able to see if he had actually named his father "John 2 CONC William Culpepper" or if he had named both his father and grandfather 2 CONC "John Culpepper" and Joseph Richard Culpepper had used the "John 2 CONC William Culpepper" from the history in an attempt to reconcile the 2 CONC alleged history with what his father had written and in order to 2 CONC clearly distinguish his grandfather from his great-grandfather in his 2 CONC letter to Rev. Culpepper. In any event, the source of the name "John 2 CONC William Culpepper" was probably the alleged history of the family and 2 CONC Rev. George B. Culpepper would probably have considered Joseph Richard 2 CONC Culpepper's letter a confirmation of the name because Joseph Richard 2 CONC appeared to have been reporting information that he had gotten from 2 CONC his father, Lewis Peek Culpepper. 2 CONT 2 CONT The only other indication of John Culpepper's middle name, if any, is 2 CONC an 1829 Upson Co., GA deed (A 434/5), in which John Jefferson 2 CONC Culpepper deeds land to his father for $5.00, the father's name is 2 CONC listed not once but three times as "John C. Culpepper." The clerk was 2 CONC trying to distinguish the grantor "John J. Culpepper" from the grantee 2 CONC "John Culpepper" and used "John C. Culpepper" to distinguish the two. 2 CONC Since John Culpepper, Senior was not illiterate, the "C" cannot be 2 CONC interpreted as his "mark." But if John Culpepper's middle initial was 2 CONC "C." he did not pass the name to any of his sons. And only one 2 CONC grandson of John Culpepper is known to have a name starting with "C," 2 CONC Charles William Culpepper, a son of Joel. Could John Culpepper have 2 CONC had a middle name of Charles? It would have been a common name for a 2 CONC supporter of the Stuarts but would have fallen out of favor after the 2 CONC Revolution. 2 CONT Joseph went on in the letter to note that John Culpepper "moved from 2 CONC Virginia to Congaree, South Carolina and then to Edgefield [SC] and 2 CONC from Edgefield to Monroe County, Georgia and later to Meriwether 2 CONC County, Georgia, and to Randolph County, Alabama, where he died in 2 CONC 1855, when I was 12 years old" and not in 1852 as in the alleged 2 CONC history. Again it it not possible to know if Joseph Richard Culpepper 2 CONC was still trying to reconcile the alleged history which said that 2 CONC "John William" was born in Virginia with what his father had told him 2 CONC about the movement of the family. However, in the 1850 census of 2 CONC Randolph Co., AL (p. 386, family 189), John Culpepper gave his place 2 CONC of birth as South Carolina. 2 CONT 2 CONT No records have been found in South Carolina for John Culpepper's 2 CONC presumed father, John. The elder John is believed to have lived in 2 CONC Camden District, SC in an area that became Richland District, SC and 2 CONC many early records for this district were destroyed. If the parents of 2 CONC John Culpepper died young, possibly before or during the Revolution, 2 CONC and John was their only child, then it is unlikely that any record of 2 CONC their existence, outside of family tradition, will ever be found. 2 CONT 2 CONT In trying to identify where John Culpepper was born, it is necessary 2 CONC to look at the extant Culpepper records in districts that existed at 2 CONC the time of his birth. In 1769, the Province of South Carolina was 2 CONC divided into seven districts, three of whom have Culpepper 2 CONC connections: Cheraws, Camden and Orangeburg. 2 CONT Cheraws District was bounded on the west by the Lynches River and the 2 CONC Pedee River ran through the center of it. Nancy Gillespie, who married 2 CONC John Culpepper, is believed to have been born in this district. 2 CONT 2 CONT Joseph Richard Culpepper noted that "Congaree, South Carolina" was one 2 CONC of the places where John Culpepper had lived and Rev. George Bright 2 CONC Culpepper indicated that "John William Culpepper" had been born in 2 CONC "Richland District, fork of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers." Richland 2 CONC District did not exist at the time John Culpepper was born but the 2 CONC Congaree River was part of the Western boundary of the Camden 2 CONC District. The Wateree River ran through the center of the district 2 CONC which was bounded on the east by Lynches River and Cheraws District. 2 CONC The Wateree then joined with the Congaree to form the Santee River. On 2 CONC 3 Apr 1772, Joseph Culpepper, a presumed uncle of John Culpepper, 2 CONC received a grant by "George the Third... Four hundred Acres, situate 2 CONC in Craven County on Tom's Creek, in the fork between Santee River & 2 CONC the Wateree, bounding all sides on Vacant land." Tom's, Thom's or 2 CONC Thomson's Creek as it was known was halfway between the Wateree and 2 CONC Congaree near the confluence which forms the Santee river and was 2 CONC south of present day Columbia, SC. The land was listed as being in 2 CONC "Craven County." This was one of three counties established in 1682 2 CONC and although it had ceased to exist in 1769, it was still used in land 2 CONC transactions to help specify the location of land. 22 Aug 1771, Liddy 2 CONC Culpepper, a presumed grandmother of John Culpepper, was granted 350 2 CONC acres of land on Griffin's Creek which has not been located but was 2 CONC listed as being "in Craven County on the Fork of the Wateree and 2 CONC Congaree River." If any South Carolina land was granted to John 2 CONC Culpepper's father before the Revolution, no record of it has been 2 CONC found. If John Culpepper was born at the fork of the Congaree and the 2 CONC Wateree Rivers then he would have been born on the land of his 2 CONC presumed grandmother in Camden District, SC in an area which later 2 CONC became Richland District, SC and which today would be located just 2 CONC south of Columbia, Richland Co., SC. 2 CONT After the Revolution, in 1785, counties were formed within the 2 CONC districts which had been defined in 1769 but the district boundaries 2 CONC were maintained. The area in which Joseph and Liddy Culpepper had 2 CONC received grants of land was then considered to be in Richland County. 2 CONT In the first census of the United States in 1790, Benjamin and Joseph 2 CONC Culpepper, presumed uncles of John Culpepper, were the only 2 CONC Culpepper's listed as heads of household in South Carolina. They were 2 CONC both listed in Orangeburg District. This district ran southwest from 2 CONC the Congaree and Santee rivers to the Savannah River. John Culpepper 2 CONC probably moved across the Congaree River to Orangeburg District, SC 2 CONC with his presumed uncles and with his presumed grandmother, if she was 2 CONC still living. It is possible that John Culpepper was one of the three 2 CONC males age 16 and older recorded in Joseph Culpepper's household in the 2 CONC 1790 census of Orangeburg District, SC. . 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1793, John turned twenty-one and on May 18th of the following year 2 CONC he married Nancy Gillespie. Presumably, they would have married in the 2 CONC county where Nancy was living but it is not known whether this would 2 CONC have been Cheraws or Camden district. Since Nancy's presumed 2 CONC grandfather, Daniel Peek, left an estate in what was then Richland 2 CONC District (Richland County was part of Camden District in 1793), it 2 CONC possible that the marriage took place in Richland Co., SC. Mrs. J. W. 2 CONC (Ira Gay) Deam preserved the following John Culpepper Bible record 2 CONC which was copied by Mrs. D. W. (Lavyn Wright) Sisco: John Culpepper 2 CONC Senior(?) and Nancy Gillespie were married on May 8, 1794, at 9:00 2 CONC A.M. Cloudy, evening fair. 2 CONT 2 CONT In "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" a family summary written 8 Oct 1942, Rev. 2 CONC George Bright Culpepper also references the Bible record of John's 2 CONC marriage: According to the same record, John William Culpepper married 2 CONC Nancey [sic] Gillespie on May 18, 1794, the ceremony being performed 2 CONC by Reverend Reese, at his house on the Congaree. It was on Sunday, 2 CONC cloudy in the morning and fair in the evening. 2 CONT 2 CONT Again, it is frustrating not having the actual Bible record. Which 2 CONC copiest made the error in the date? Was the name really "John William 2 CONC Culpepper"? Supporting Rev. Culpepper's version is that fact that 18 2 CONC May 1794 actually was a Sunday. The location on the Congaree is 2 CONC logical but was it on the Richland District side or on the Orangeburg 2 CONC District side? What was Rev. Reese's first name and where was he 2 CONC located in the 1790 census? There was a Joseph Reese that had land 2 CONC near Joseph and Liddy Culpepper before the Revolution. The Bible 2 CONC records apparently also mention the exact hour of birth of each of the 2 CONC couple's eleven children, a penchant for detail which would continue 2 CONC in more than one branch of the family. 2 CONT In 1785, Lexington County was one of the counties set up in the 2 CONC Orangeburg District. It was directly across the Congaree River from 2 CONC Richland County in Camden District. The county was abolished in 1791 2 CONC but was reinstated as a district in 1804. John Culpepper, age 16-26, 2 CONC was listed as a head-of-household on the 1800 census in the Lexington 2 CONC portion of Orangeburg District, SC. Depending on when the census was 2 CONC taken, John would have been 27 or 28 years old. John was living with 2 CONC his wife and three sons near (1 census page after) Joseph Culpepper. 2 CONC There was also one girl 0-10 years of age that has not been accounted 2 CONC for since the first daughter born to John and Nancy's first daughter, 2 CONC Sarah, was not born until 1802. Since Daniel Peek Culpepper was born 2 CONC in April of 1800, it is possible that this was a young relative who 2 CONC was helping out the new mother. In a 2 Feb 1898 article about Francis 2 CONC Gillespie Culpepper, John Culpepper's son, which appeared in the 2 CONC Shiner Gazette Francis Gillespie was reported to have born in 2 CONC Edgefield District, SC. Francis was still living in 1898 and 2 CONC presumably would have been the source of this information. In 2 CONC addition, another son, Lewis Peek Culpepper, read this same article 2 CONC and found it "a tolerable correct historical account." The obituary of 2 CONC another son, George Washington Culpepper, also gave his place of birth 2 CONC as Edgefield District, SC in 1808. Edgefield District was to the west 2 CONC of Lexington District with which it shared half of its southeastern 2 CONC border. It was bounded on the southwest by the Savannah River which 2 CONC formed the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. Francis 2 CONC Gillespie was born in 1804 and George Washington Culpepper was born in 2 CONC 1808 but John Culpepper does not show up in Edgefield District land 2 CONC records until 1814. Although the John Culpepper family appears to have 2 CONC been in Edgefield District at least by 1813, it is doubtful that the 2 CONC family was there in 1804. It is more likely that the family was still 2 CONC in Lexington District in the early 1800's. 2 CONT 2 CONT A Lexington, SC researcher, Lee R. Gandee, wrote in a 23 May 1974 2 CONC letter to Billy W. Dunn, that the Congaree plantations were noted for 2 CONC their crops of indigo and tobacco. Lee R. Gandee added: Then nearly 2 CONC all the people in this area pulled up and left, either to the area 2 CONC around Montezuma, Georgia or to Alabama--Kirkpartricks, Taylors, 2 CONC Fitzpatricks, Threewittses--Geigers--everybody who was anybody, for 2 CONC the River began destroying the low land by floods by 1800, and by 1830 2 CONC the River swamps were grown up in a jungle and stagnant water made it 2 CONC a death-feeding pesthole of fevers as malaria and dengue-carrying 2 CONC mosquitoes swarmed.... Two years ago [1972], I walked 7 miles from 2 CONC Thom's Creek to Cayce on the Old State Road, along which these 2 CONC families lived, and did not pass a single house or building. It is now 2 CONC in huge tracts of swamp or woodland or in fields, and floods still 2 CONC sometimes put 15 feet of water over the old road. Just back from the 2 CONC river, not more than a mile or two, the poorest sand land in the 2 CONC county begins, and here, up from the swampy river land are the few 2 CONC houses that remain of the Plantation families.... 2 CONT 2 CONT By 1807, John Culpepper appears to have moved his family back across 2 CONC the Congaree River to Richland District, SC where he shows up in 2 CONC Richland District, SC estate records as an administrator of the estate 2 CONC of Daniel Peek, Nancy Gillespie's presumed grandfather. It is 2 CONC interesting to note in these estate papers that Joseph Culpepper, 2 CONC John's presumed uncle, signed the $20,000 Administration Bond with 2 CONC John. And although the name was spelled "Culpepper" throughout the 2 CONC documents by whomever drew up the papers, both men signed their names 2 CONC "Culpeper" at the bottom of the bond: 2 CONC ____________________________________________ 2 CONT Administration Bond.

He was with his wife and a family 2 CONC which now included six sons and a daughter. An additional 26-45 year 2 CONC old woman, a 16-26 year old woman and a 0-10 year old boy were also 2 CONC listed in the household that year and are unidentified. Could they 2 CONC have been Nancy Gillespie Culpepper's mother, Elizabeth (Peek) 2 CONC Gillespie, sister, Elizabeth (Gillespie) Slappey, with a young son, 2 CONC John Slappey? At some point after this census, John Culpepper moved 2 CONC his family west to Edgefield District, SC. As noted above, the family 2 CONC might have been in Edgefield District before 1804 and then returned to 2 CONC Richland District for the administration of Daniel Peek's will but it 2 CONC is more likely that the family moved to Edgefield District after the 2 CONC 1810 census and possibly because of the War of 1812. A son, William 2 CONC Henry Culpepper, who was born 17 Oct 1813, gave his place of birth as 2 CONC Edgefield District, SC on a Civil War Muster Roll. This would seem to 2 CONC indicate that the John Culpepper family was in Edgefield District, SC 2 CONC by this date but John does not appear in the land records of Edgefield 2 CONC District, SC until Nov 1814 when he received a state grant of 138 2 CONC acres on Cuffee Town Creek. The following is a Grant to John Culpepper 2 CONC 138 A. - Edgefield Nov. 7, 1814, from p. 278 of S. C. Archives State 2 CONC Grants: Vol. 59: _____THE STATE OF SOUTH-CAROLINA.

Cuffey Town Creek parallels the Abbeville District border. 2 CONC John Culpepper and his family were still living in Edgefield District, 2 CONC SC in 1816 when the youngest child, Lewis Peek Culpepper, was born. 2 CONC John does not appear as a head of household in 1820 census, but is 2 CONC presumed to have been living in Edgefield District, SC with his family 2 CONC since in February 1823, John sold 144 acres "where I now live" on 2 CONC Cuffee Town Creek to Josiah Langley for $800. This parcel was one 2 CONC granted to George Shelnut, not his own 138 acre grant, the sale of 2 CONC which was not recorded. It is possible that one of John's married sons 2 CONC or daughters had been left living on the original parcel. The lot John 2 CONC sold in 1823 adjoined Josiah Langley and the heirs of Robert Bell, one 2 CONC of whom was John Culpepper's son, John Jefferson Culpepper, who had 2 CONC married Bell's daughter Catherine. This appears to be the land that 2 CONC William Bell was living on in the 1820 census of Edgefield District, 2 CONC SC. Perhaps John moved his family from his Edgefield District grant 2 CONC land to this lot between 1820 and 1823. 2 CONT 2 CONT John and Nancy moved to Georgia when their son, Lewis, was seven, 2 CONC about 1823 or 1824. This would be in line with John's sale of the 144 2 CONC acres "where I now live" February 1823 in Edgefield District, SC to 2 CONC Josiah Langley. At least two and possibly three of John and Nancy's 2 CONC children moved out ahead of them. Daniel Culpepper's son, James Marion 2 CONC Culpepper, was born Feb 1823 and based on later census records he was 2 CONC born in Georgia. No records have been found showing where the family 2 CONC was located at the time but James Marion's son, Rev. 2 CONT John Butler stated that his father was born in Baldwin Co., GA. Based 2 CONC on later census records, Sarah (Culpepper) Elliott's daughter Cynthia 2 CONC was also born in Georgia circa 1823. A specific place of birth is not 2 CONC known. Another son, John Jefferson Culpepper, and his family might 2 CONC also have moved on ahead although there are no records that any 2 CONC children were born to them during this time period. Baldwin Co., GA 2 CONC would have been on the route between South Carolina and Monroe Co., GA 2 CONC where the family finally emerges in land records. 2 CONT 2 CONT John William Culpepper, a great-great-great-grandson of John and Nancy 2 CONC Culpepper wrote about the Wadley City Cemetery in an 18 Aug 1994 2 CONC letter: On one of the full length stone slabs covering one of the 2 CONC graves in the Wadley Cemetery, there is carving indicating the 2 CONC individual was buried in 1856. Many of the graves with such rock slabs 2 CONC have no carving. It is an old cemetery, and originally the Elliot 2 CONC family cemetery [John Culpepper's daughter, Sarah married an Elliott]. 2 CONC The grave with the carving is near the grave of Wm. Henry Culpepper [a 2 CONC son of John and Nancy Culpepper]. 2 CONT . 2 CONT It is also possible that the unmarked graves are those of Sarah O. 2 CONC (Culpepper) Elliott and her daughter, Cynthia, who are supposed to be 2 CONC buried in the cemetery. 2 CONT 2 CONT Hi Scott, 2 CONT Thanks for sharing the details on the ancestry of the Alabama's 2 CONT Governor, Bob Riley (Robert Renfroe Riley). 2 CONT For those of you who are not familiar with his ancestor Lewis 2 CONC Gibson 2 CONT Dean, he was the son of John Wesley Dean and Betsey Culpepper, and she 2 CONC was 2 CONT the daughter of John Culpepper and Nancy Gillespie, of early Randolph 2 CONT County, AL.

Joseph Richard Culpepper, in a letter to 2 CONC Rev. George Bright Culpepper circa 1910-1915, wrote that Nancy 2 CONC Gillespie's "mother was a Peek." 2 CONT 2 CONT Mrs. John (Dorothy Culpepper) Wingfield preserved a 25 page typed 2 CONC manuscript "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" written by her grandfather, Rev. 2 CONC George Bright Culpepper, who noted: According to the same [John 2 CONC Culpepper Bible] record, John William Culpepper married Nancy 2 CONC Gillespie on May 18, 1794, the ceremony being performed by Reverend 2 CONC Reese, at his house on the Congaree. It was on Sunday, cloudy in the 2 CONC morning and fair in the evening. As best it can be figured, Nancy 2 CONC Gillespie was six years younger than John William, the man she 2 CONC married, and was born on the Peedee River, in South Carolina, near 2 CONC Cheraw. The record recites that to this couple were born eight sons 2 CONC and two daughters. 2 CONT 2 CONT Nancy Gillespie is presumed to have been the daughter of Francis 2 CONC Gillespie of South Carolina since one of her sons was named Francis 2 CONC Gillespie Culpepper. Francis Gillespie owned land in Cheraws District, 2 CONC SC and family tradition is that this was where Nancy Gillespie was 2 CONC born. Francis Gillespie's wife was named Elizabeth based on South 2 CONC Carolina deeds (Book O-3, pp. 436-450) as was Nancy's sister Elizabeth 2 CONC "Betsy" Gillespie who married John Slappey (John Culpepper letter 2 CONC 1853). 2 CONT 2 CONT Nancy and Betsy Gillespie's presumed mother, Elizabeth, was perhaps a 2 CONC daughter or sister of Daniel Peek. In 1807, John Culpepper and John 2 CONC Slappey were listed as administrators of Daniel Peek's Richland 2 CONC District estate. The bond was also signed by Joseph Culpepper and 2 CONC George Slappey. Buyers at the estate sale included John Culpepper and 2 CONC John Slappey, Elizabeth Gillespie, and others. Prior to his death, 2 CONC Daniel Peek may have given land to John and Nancy Gillespie Culpepper 2 CONC which would account for their move back to Richland District, SC. 2 CONC Daniel Peek's surviving estate records do not mention land but include 2 CONC sixteen slaves, several horses, hogs, and farm produce, indicating 2 CONC that he had been a planter and landowner. 2 CONT 2 CONT In Feburary 1823 when John Culpepper sold (Deed Book 43, pp. 322-323, 2 CONC Edgefield Co., SC) 144 acres "where I now live" on Cuffeetown Creek in 2 CONC Edgefield District, SC, this was not the land that he had been granted 2 CONC in 1814.

Q.____Recorded 4th Oct 1828. 2 CONT 2 CONT There is a question about whether Mrs. John (Nancy Gillespie) 2 CONC Culpepper died in Meriwether Co., GA or in Randolph Co., AL. Mrs. J. 2 CONC (Clara Haralson) Moorcroft wrote in "THE WILLIAM CULPEPPER AND SALLY 2 CONC LESLIE FAMILY," that the widowed John Culpepper accompanied the 2 CONC William Henry Culpepper family from Meriwether Co., GA to Randolph 2 CONC Co., AL when Clara's mother's was six years old. This would seem to 2 CONC indicate that Nancy Gillespie Culpepper died in Meriwether Co., GA. 2 CONC However there were Elliott descendants living near the Wadley City 2 CONC Cemetery, Randolph Co., AL in the mid 1970's who believed that both 2 CONC John and Nancy Culpepper were buried on their land in Randolph Co., 2 CONC AL. Unfortunately, no records of the location of that land have been 2 CONC found. Lavyn (Wright) Sisco wrote 15 Apr 1994 that she had visited the 2 CONC Wadley City Cemetery with a Dean descendant in 1985 and was told that 2 CONC the two graves to the left of William Henry Culpepper were the graves 2 CONC of John and Nancy (Gillsepie) Culpepper. However Lavyn was also told 2 CONC in a 1973 letter from James Harris that William Henry Culpepper's 2 CONC first wife, Sarah Leslie, was the first person buried in the cemetery. 2 CONC If that is correct then Nancy died a year before Sarah and is not 2 CONC buried in the cemetery. It is possible that the two graves to the left 2 CONC of William Henry are those of Sarah O. (Culpepper) Elliott and her 2 CONC daughter Cynthia, both of whom are supposed to be buried in the 2 CONC cemetery but whose graves have not been identified. The cemetery was 2 CONC known as the Elliott family cemetery before it became the Wadley City 2 CONC Cemetery. 2 CONT 2 CONT Ruth Vincent Carlisle Brice, born in July 1906, is a triple Culpepper 2 CONC descendant. Her paternal grandmother was Emily Miriam Culpepper, who 2 CONC was the daughter of William Henry and Sarah Leslie Culpepper. Ruth's 2 CONC paternal grandfather was Broxon Yarbrough Carlisle, whose maternal 2 CONC grandmother was Sarah Oglethorpe Culpepper, a daughter of JOHN and 2 CONC NANCY GILLESPIE CULPEPPER. Ruth's mother's paternal grandmother was 2 CONC Mary Elizabeth Culpeper, sister of the above Sarah Oglethorpe 2 CONC Culpepper. Ruth now lives in Georgia near her son, Forrest Brice 2 CONC (Source: Granddaughter, Kathryn Ruth Brice.) (Ruth died 1 May 2004.) 2 CONT 2 CONT No records have been found in Georgia for John Culpepper or any of his 2 CONC children until John appears in land lottery and deed records in Monroe 2 CONC Co., GA in 1827. According to p. 42 of Monroe County, Georgia A 2 CONC History compiled and published in 1979 by the Monroe County Historical 2 CONC Society, Inc. in Forsythe, GA: The territory which comprises Monroe 2 CONC County is part of the land ceded by the Creek Nation in a number of 2 CONC treaties with the United States. The principal treaty was entered into 2 CONC at Indian Springs in the Creek Nation on January 8, 1821, between the 2 CONC United States, represented by Daniel M. Farney of the State of North 2 CONC Carolina, and David Meriwether of the State of Georgia, and chiefs, 2 CONC headman, warriors of the Creek Nation, in Council assembled. The land 2 CONC in question was all land lying east of the Flint River and running up 2 CONC the eastern bank of the same, along the water's edge to the head of 2 CONC the principal western branch, which was later named Line Creek. From 2 CONC the head of Line Creek the direction took the nearest and most direct 2 CONC line to the Chattahoochee River. It then followed the eastern bank of 2 CONC the Chattahoochee to the "Shallow Ford," where the boundary between 2 CONC the Creek Nation and the State of Georgia at the time touched the 2 CONC river. The Creek Nation had made many improvements in several sections 2 CONC of this land, and these were one thousand acres to be laid off in a 2 CONC square so as to include the Indian Springs in the center; six hundred 2 CONC forty acres on the western bank of the Ocmulgee River to include the 2 CONC improvements in the possession of the Indian Chief, General William 2 CONC McIntosh.... Within this treaty there was agreed to be paid to the 2 CONC Creek Nation for the cession of this land a total amount of two 2 CONC hundred thousand dollars in fourteen consecutive payments.... This 2 CONC treaty at Indian Springs was not generally accepted by Creek people 2 CONC since they were being gradually crowded out of the land of their 2 CONC forefathers. For this reason it was decreed by the Creek Nation that 2 CONC no further treaty would be signed with the whites unless the entire 2 CONC Creek Nation was in full agreement and then it was only to be signed 2 CONC by those appointed by the nation for that purpose. In spite of this, 2 CONC however, on February 12, 1825, another treaty was entered into with 2 CONC the Creek Nation at Indian Springs. This treaty was signed by all the 2 CONC chiefs and headmen of all Creek towns except those of Tohauhatchee. 2 CONC The land ceded in this treaty included all the land lying within the 2 CONC boundaries of the State of Georgia as defined by the compact.... The 2 CONC land was divided into five counties: Dooly, Houston, Monroe, Fayette 2 CONC and Henry.... 2 CONT 2 CONT 3 Jan 1827, "John Culpepper Sr. of Monroe" bought 202 1/2 acres (Lot 2 CONC 223 Book E p. 179 witnessed by James Wilson and E. Dodson, recorded 20 2 CONC Nov 1827) in the Twelfth District of Monroe County, GA for $800 from 2 CONC Warren T. Castleberry and sold it the next year for the same price. 2 CONC This would seem to show that John was already in Monroe before he 2 CONC bought the land. G. W. Elliott, witnessed the 1828 deed. It is not 2 CONC known if he was related to William Elliott, the husband of John 2 CONC Culpepper's daughter, Sarah. By 1830, John and Nancy had only one son, 2 CONC Lewis, still living at home with them in Monroe County, GA. Living 2 CONC nearby was Mary (Corley) Culpepper, widow of John's son, Daniel. 2 CONC Sometime between 1830 and 1832, John and Nancy apparently moved on to 2 CONC Crawford Co., GA where there sons Joel and James had been recorded in 2 CONC the 1830 census. "John Culpepper, Sen[ior]" of "Marshall's, Crawford" 2 CONC drew lot 174 in the 22nd district of section 3 of the 1832 Cherokee 2 CONC Land Lottery of Georgia. As a married man who was a U. S. citizen with 2 CONC a son under 18 years of age who was a U. S. citizen and who had lived 2 CONC in Georgia for three years, he would have been entitled to two draws. 2 CONC The land was a 160 acre lot located in the southeast corner of what 2 CONC was Floyd Co., GA and is now on the southern border of Bartow Co., GA 2 CONC near where Paulding and Cobb Co. meet the Bartow Co., line. No record 2 CONC has been found of John and Nancy moving to the land, nor has any 2 CONC record been found of the sale of the land. The family is next noted 2 CONC moving on to Meriwether Co., GA. 2 CONT 2 CONT In the mid-1830's, John and Nancy Culpepper moved to Meriwether 2 CONC County, GA along with son, William Henry Culpepper, and his family. 2 CONC Another son, George W. Culpepper, was already living in Meriwether 2 CONC Co., GA. John and Nancy bought land there in 1838. A descendant, John 2 CONC William Culpepper, obtained a copy of deed F-396 in which, on 24 May 2 CONC 1838, Eli Peavy sold 50 acres on the north side of land lot #255 in 2 CONC the 8th District of Meriwether County, Georgia, containing 50 acres to 2 CONC John Culpepper for $35.35. John and Nancy were noted in the 1840 2 CONC census of Meriwether Co., GA (p. 123, John Culpepper 1 male 60-70 with 2 CONC 1 female 50-60 living next to son, William H. Culpepper). The 2 CONC following is an account of John Culpepper as a settler in Greenville, 2 CONC Meriwether Co., GA which appeared in the Greenville, GA Vindicator on 2 CONC April 21, 1905: Nearly eighty years ago a group of hardy yeomanry 2 CONC settled on adjacent farms a few miles northwest of Greenville near the 2 CONC old Ector mill (now Maffett's). They were John, George and William 2 CONC Culpepper, Allen, Eli and David Peavy, Freeman Blount, Daniel Keith, 2 CONC Joel Sears, William Sutherland, Robert Kendrick, James Martin and the 2 CONC Carlisles. At that time these denizens were neither rich or very poor, 2 CONC but self-reliant, self-sustaining and mutually helpful in many ways. 2 CONC Then and in many sequent years it was customary in the country to have 2 CONC log-rollings, house-raisings and wheat-reapings in which the neighbors 2 CONC joined forces either personally or by colored proxy. In the dark hours 2 CONC of sickness, death, or misfortune of any kind the sympathetic hearts 2 CONC and hands of the neighborhood were promptly united to assist and 2 CONC relieve the distressed. This was especially the era of the best men 2 CONC and women of Georgia and from such have sprung those who have done 2 CONC most in the private and public walks of life to conserve true nobility 2 CONC of character, moral and christian civilization. John Culpepper removed 2 CONC in early life from Virginia [according to the 1850 census record, he 2 CONC was born in South Carolina and all indications are that his extended 2 CONC family had recently moved to South Carolina when John Culpepper was 2 CONC born] to South Carolina thence emigrating to Monroe county, Georgia 2 CONC from where he came to Meriwether locating on what is now known as the 2 CONC Willis Jarrell place near town. After residing here some years he 2 CONC disposed of his farm reinvesting in a choice plantation in Randolph 2 CONC county, Ala. Then he spent the remainder of his long life contentedly 2 CONC as he harvested luxuriant crops from the alluvial lands bordering on 2 CONC the Chattahoochee [read Tallapoosa River?]. He belonged to the honest 2 CONC primitive class of citizenry who scorned deceit, lying and trickery, 2 CONC esteeming true character and a good name above filthy lucre and 2 CONC corrupted honors. Though not a churchman, the old patriot was a firm 2 CONC believer in the christian religion as was attested by his conduct in 2 CONC the practice of its precepts. He was the father of eight sons and two 2 CONC daughters, all of whom located in various parts of this state and 2 CONC Alabama. All were substantial highly respected citizens, reflecting 2 CONC honor on their special callings and the name of their revered 2 CONC ancestor. This is a remarkable family for longevity. All attained very 2 CONC old age some of them having lived more than a century. 2 CONT 2 CONT John William Culpepper also obtained a copy of deed G-458-459 dated 28 2 CONC Jan 1842 in which George Washington and William Henry Culpepper sold 2 CONC the west half of land lot "#226" [should be 256] which they had 2 CONC purchased in 1838 in the 8th District containing 100 acres, to John 2 CONC Culpepper for $400.00. In a 25 Apr 1995 letter, John William Culpepper 2 CONC wrote: 2 CONT 2 CONT The Mead Board Company currently owns [lot] 226 [256?] and part of 2 CONC [lot] 225 [255?]. We talked to Bill Gibbs at the Meriwether office and 2 CONC he could not provide any information regarding burial sites on the 2 CONC property, but suggested contacting Tom Brannon at their Yatesville 2 CONC Office in Upson County, which we did. Mr. Brannon pulled out the plat 2 CONC maps and we looked at them without noting any burial sites on the 2 CONC property.... 2 CONT 2 CONT Land Lots 225 & 226 [255? & 256?], 8th District are located 2 CONC approximately 2 to 3 miles northwest of Greenville, about one mile 2 CONC east off of Georgia Route 100 on the Jarrell road. 255 cuts across 2 CONC Jarrell Road. 2 CONT 2 CONT Eleanor [Willingham] and I located a cemetery nearby lot 255 and just 2 CONC off of the Jarrell Road and it had a number of Peavy graves but no 2 CONC Nancy Culpepper. 2 CONT 2 CONT It is not clear at what point, John Culpepper moved on to Randolph 2 CONC Co., AL. According to Meriwether Co., GA Deed I-392 obtained by John 2 CONC William Culpepper, John Culpepper and William H. Culpepper sold for 2 CONC $1,000 to Jacob Moon the Meriwether Co., GA District 8 lot 256 2 CONC containing 202 1/2 acres which George Washington and William H. 2 CONC Culpepper purchased in 1838 half of which John Culpepper purchased 2 CONC from George Washington and William H. Culpepper in 1842. John and 2 CONC William H. Culpepper also sold as part of the package the 50 acres off 2 CONC of the north side of lot 255 which John Culpepper had bought in 1838. 2 CONT 2 CONT The question that this raises is whether or not John Culpepper moved 2 CONC to Randolph Co., AL before or after Nancy's death. According to Mrs. 2 CONC J. (Clara Haralson) Moorcroft, writing about her grandparents in "THE 2 CONC WILLIAM CULPEPPER AND SALLY LESLIE FAMILY," Clara's mother, Sarah Jane 2 CONC Culpepper, was six years old when the William Henry Culpepper family 2 CONC moved with the widowed John Culpepper from Meriwether Co., GA to 2 CONC Randolph Co., GA. Sarah Jane Culpepper would have been six years old 2 CONC in 1850 and in fact both William Henry and the widowed, John Culpepper 2 CONC were listed in the 1850 Randolph Co., AL census. However, "William H. 2 CONC Culpepper" is noted in Randolph Co., AL land records in 1848. He 2 CONC bought or was granted 39 acres and 24 rods of land (Certificate or 2 CONC Warrant 10628) in the southwest part of the northeast division of 2 CONC Section 10 in Township 22 South, Range 10 East of Randolph Co., AL. 2 CONC The land appears to be to the west of Wadley about half way between 2 CONC the town and Pleasant Hill Church. All records on William Henry's 2 CONC youngest daughter, Caroline F., show that she was born in January 1849 2 CONC in Alabama. This would seem to verify that the family was already in 2 CONC Alabama by 1849. If John Culpepper was a widower, then it appears that 2 CONC the William Henry Culpepper family moved to Randolph Co., AL with 2 CONC William Henry's father around the time that William Henry Culpepper 2 CONC purchased land there in Aug 1848 and after the July 1848 death of 2 CONC Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper. A 78 year old John Culpepper was listed 2 CONC (p. 386, family 189) on the 1850 census in Randolph County, AL living 2 CONC nearby his son, William Henry (p. 386, family 183). John listed his 2 CONC birthplace as South Carolina and he owned $5,500 worth of real estate. 2 CONC An 8 year old grandson, Lewis W. Culpepper, a son of William Henry 2 CONC Culpepper, was also listed as living with his grandfather. 2 CONC Unfortunately no record has been found of the land that John Culpepper 2 CONC bought in Randolph Co., AL but based on census records it must have 2 CONC been very close to William Henry's land and probably at least four 2 CONC times as large based on the amount of real estate he was supposed to 2 CONC have owned. Section 11 which covers the western portion of Wadley was 2 CONC already accounted for by early settlers (1835 - 1837) with the 2 CONC exception of one 40 acre portion that William Henry Culpepper 2 CONC purchased in 1855 (poor ink makes the entry almost impossible to 2 CONC read). Section 10 where William Henry had his land seems to be 2 CONC similarly accounted for by people who settled in the late 1830's and 2 CONC 1840's with the exception of another piece of land that William Henry 2 CONC purchased in 1855 which was a parcel immediately north of his own 2 CONC land. The records of Section 3 which was immediately north of Section 2 CONC 11 are in many cases impossible to read because of the poor ink. The 2 CONC entry for John J. Culpepper's land is still legible. It is about the 2 CONC right size to account for the amount of property that John Culpepper 2 CONC owned in 1850 and it is near enough to William Henry to account for 2 CONC the proximity of the census records. Is it possible that John 2 CONC Culpepper actually owned the land that John J. Culpepper was noted 2 CONC with in the 1850 land record? 2 CONT 2 CONT But according to the letter which follows, John Culpepper had broken 2 CONC up housekeeping by 1853. The question is then where was he living when 2 CONC he died. One possibility is with William Henry. The other possibility 2 CONC is with his daughter, Sarah (Culpepper) Elliott. The Wadley City 2 CONC Cemetery, which is in this grid area, was originally named the Elliott 2 CONC Cemetery and was presumably on land owned by Sarah (Culpepper) 2 CONC Elliott, John Culpepper's daughter. She is believed to have been in 2 CONC the area before 1855 since one of her sons married in Randolph Co., AL 2 CONC in 1855. Sarah was also recorded in the Almond P. O. district in the 2 CONC 1870 census but was not living close to her brothers. In the 1880 2 CONC census, she was recorded in the Louina P. O. district whereas William 2 CONC Henry was in the Flatrock district. This suggests that she was 2 CONC probably living in the Wadley area. In the 1853 letter which follows, 2 CONC John Culpepper writes of trying to get some of his children to come to 2 CONC Randolph Co., AL. It is possible that Sarah came shortly after this 2 CONC and settled on land that John Culpepper had purchased and that the 2 CONC Wadley City Cemetery land and the land to the south of Wadley where 2 CONC John Jefferson Culpepper descendants were found was at one time owned 2 CONC by John Culpepper. 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1853, John Culpepper wrote a letter to his son Francis G. in Lavaca 2 CONC County, Texas, which has been preserved all of these years by that 2 CONC branch of the family. He mentions various relatives but unfortunately 2 CONC does not tell us anything of his own ancestry. John died in Randolph 2 CONC County, AL, May 13, 1855. 2 CONT 2 CONT The following is the letter that John Culpepper, living near Louina, 2 CONC Randolph County, AL wrote to Francis G. Culpepper who had been in 2 CONC Sweet Home, TX for about two years: 2 CONT 2 CONT ______________Randolphs County Ala'a, 26th June 1853 2 CONT Dear Children, 2 CONT I rec'd your letter, dated 7th May, on 13th June And was very happy to 2 CONC hear you was all well and hope these lines May still find you 2 CONC Likewise.

He did not leave Lavaca Co. TX until 2 CONC around 1900, and died shortly thereafter in Devine, TX. 2 CONT "Lewis is in Pike Zebulon, by promise him & wife will be Here July" 2 CONC refers to Lewis Peek Culpepper, the youngest son of John W., who lived 2 CONC in Zebulon, GA until 1859, when he moved to Randolph Co. AL. In a 2 CONC letter written in the early 1900's to Rev. George B. Culpepper, a son 2 CONC of Lewis, Joseph Richard Culpepper, mentions going with his father to 2 CONC visit John Culpepper when Joseph was 12 years old, i. e., in 1853. 2 CONT John Culpepper was not listed as a slave-owner in the 1850 slave 2 CONC schedule of Randolph County, Alabama so it is not clear when or where 2 CONC he got the slaves that he intended to trade "for land." 2 CONT "This letter comes from Sweet Home" refers to the name that Francis 2 CONC Gillespie Culpepper gave to the land when he arrived in Lavaca County, 2 CONC TX, in the spring of 1851. According to his granddaughter, Jessie 2 CONC Burke Heard, "he stopped the wagons and told the people that this was 2 CONC the place he wanted to make his home, so he then and there named the 2 CONC place Sweet Home." 2 CONT "Joel's widow and family (John in Morgan) are at Harelson Viledge" 2 CONC refers to Nancy (Corley) Culepper, widow of John's oldest son, Joel, 2 CONC who was in Coweta County, GA in 1850, as were her children, Charles 2 CONC W., Sara A. B., James Benjamin, and Elijah Milton. "John in Morgan" 2 CONC refers to Nancy's oldest son, John L., who was in Morgan Co. GA, and 2 CONC was later killed in the Civil War, at Winchester, VA, on Feb 24, 1862. 2 CONC 2 CONT "Daniels d[itt]o Dead" is a problem. If it was a reference to his son, 2 CONC Daniel P. Culpepper, as a mental note before going to talk about 2 CONC Daniel's children, James and Caroline, then it is odd since Daniel 2 CONC would have been dead for over 25 years and Francis Culpepper would 2 CONC have known that. If it referred to the fourth son of Joel and Nancy, 2 CONC then it is odd that the death was not noted in the Family Bible of his 2 CONC sister, Mrs. I. W. (Sarah A. B. Culpepper) Sims who did note the death 2 CONC of her brother John in 1862. The abbreviated ditto symbol "do" is 2 CONC under the word Widow of the line above. Possibly the line should be 2 CONC read "Daniels [Widow] Dead" since Daniel's widow, Mary (Corley) 2 CONC Culpepper had died in 1851 the year when Francis G. Culpepper left for 2 CONC Texas and he might not have heard the news. 2 CONT "James and Caroline Talbot yet, John gone West" refers to James Marion 2 CONC Culpepper and Nancy Caroline Culpepper Cooper who were children of 2 CONC John's son, Daniel Peek Culpepper, who had died in 1825. James and 2 CONC Nancy Caroline were in Talbot Co., GA in 1850. Daniel Peek Culpepper's 2 CONC youngest son was John Francis Culpepper who died in Johnson Co. TX in 2 CONC 1916. 2 CONT "John Slappey is living with your Aunt Betsey." This reference is to 2 CONC Betsey (Gillespie) Slappey who was the sister of Nancy Gillespie 2 CONC Culpepper, the wife of John Culpepper. John Slappey was apparently her 2 CONC son. The Slappeys have not been located in 1850 census records. 2 CONT 2 CONT The graves of John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper have not been found 2 CONC although there are memorial stones for them in the cemetery of the 2 CONC Allen-Lee Memorial United Methodist Church in Lone Oak, GA. If, as 2 CONC appears to be the case, Nancy died before John Culpepper moved on to 2 CONC Alabama, then she probably is buried somewhere near Greenville, GA. 2 CONC Mrs. Eleanor (Culpepper) Willingham, in a 28 Sep 1987 letter, wrote of 2 CONC trying to locate the graves of John and Nancy Gillespie Culpepper. In 2 CONC Wadley, AL she located a "Mr. Smith" who was "over 80" and who had 2 CONC married a Culpepper descendant who thought that John Culpepper had 2 CONC lived in the neighborhood. He also spoke of a cemetery "down on the 2 CONC [Tallapoosa] river-which would be almost inaccessible." Mr. Smith had 2 CONC not heard that John and Nancy were buried there but said "it could be 2 CONC a possibility."

Nothing 2 CONC is known of her early life or whereabouts. 2 CONT 2 CONT Around 1775, she married Francis Gillespie of Cheraws District, 2 CONT SC. One would assume either that the Peek and Gillespie families lived 2 CONC near one another, or that Francis met his bride while traveling on 2 CONC business, or visiting relatives. Since he was a member of the 2 CONC Committees of Correspondence prior to the Revolution, it is 2 CONC conceivable that he might have visited Boston, and met his bride 2 CONC there. But it seems more likely that she was related to other Peeks in 2 CONC the general area, who seem to have come from Virginia. 2 CONT 2 CONT She and her daughters, and their husbands, are found in records with 2 CONC Daniel Peek, who appears to have been Elizabeth's brother. Daniel Peek 2 CONC died in Richland District, SC, in 1807, and Elizabeth's sons-in-law, 2 CONC John Culpepper and John Slappey, were administrators of his estate. In 2 CONC 1790, he was noted in Lancaster County SC deed records with Robert 2 CONC Down and William Tate, witnessing a deed of gift of four lots in the 2 CONC town of Camden from John Chesnut of Camden to Chesnut's daughter, Mary 2 CONC McRae ,the wife of Duncan McRae. John Chesnut was one of the leading 2 CONC merchants in Kershaw Co. SC. 2 CONT 2 CONT Daniel Peek apparently lived in or near Camden in Kershaw Co., SC 2 CONC since he was mentioned several times in the Minutes of the Kershaw 2 CONC County Court. On March 5, 1792 Daniel was appointed as overseer of a 2 CONC road which ran south/southwest out of Camden across Town Creek. An 2 CONC 1825 map of the county from the Mills' Atlas of the State of South 2 CONC Carolina shows that Chestnut's and McRae's were still living along the 2 CONC river near this road. In August of 1794 Daniel Peek served on a Grand 2 CONC Jury, indicating that he was someone of means in the county, since 2 CONC Grand Jurors were selected from those who paid the highest taxes. 2 CONT 2 CONT Based on the Minutes of the Kershaw County Court, Daniel continued to 2 CONC serve as an overseer of roads at least until 1797. Sometime after 1800 2 CONC he moved to Richland District SC, where his estate was probated in 2 CONC 1807. Daniel Peek's personal estate included 15 slaves, nine horses, 2 CONC 34 head of cattle and nearly 50 hogs. He had various farm implements 2 CONC and household items, plus a canoe and a safe. John Culpepper and John 2 CONC Slappey, the husbands of Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie's daughters, Nancy 2 CONC and Betsey, were named administrators of the estate which required a 2 CONC $20,000 administration bond. Buyers at the estate included John 2 CONC Culpepper, who bought a shotgun and a pickle tub, John Slappey, who 2 CONC bought a horse and horseman's sword, and Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie, 2 CONC who bought horses and farm implements. Elizabeth had moved to Richland 2 CONC District from Cheraws District after her husband Francis' death. 2 CONC Daniel O'Guin, Thomas Watts, and William Gupphill, the three 2 CONC appraisers of the estate, were also buyers. Although it is tempting to 2 CONC think that Daniel was Mrs. Francis (Elizabeth Peek) Gillespie's 2 CONC father, the fact that he was active at least until the late 1790's 2 CONC suggests a younger man. Elizabeth's father would probably have been in 2 CONC his late 70's or mid-80's by that time. Daniel was probably 2 CONC Elizabeth's brother. A Lewis Peak was noted as a witness of the will 2 CONC of Enoch Linerieux of Craven Co., SC who died April 24, 1778. His 2 CONC relation to Daniel and Elizabeth is not known but he is noted since 2 CONC John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper named one of their sons Lewis 2 CONC Peek Culpepper. 2 CONT 2 CONT Elizabeth and Daniel may have been related to Abel Peek, born 1765 in 2 CONC Virginia. Among Abel's children were Louis Peek, Elizabeth Peek, and 2 CONC Daniel Peek. Abel moved to Franklin County, GA, but may have been in 2 CONC SC in the 1790's. 2 CONT 2 CONT Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper's mother, "Elizabeth Gillespie of the 2 CONC District of Richland" was also noted in a Marlborough District deed in 2 CONC 1806 selling 133+ acres of land to William Wright who had apparently 2 CONC been renting the land since the deed notes that he was purchasing land 2 CONC where he "now lives." The land was on the northeast side of the Pee 2 CONC Dee River and was bounded on the southeast by John Wilson's land and 2 CONC on all other sides by James Gillespie's land. Elizabeth (Peek) 2 CONC Gillespie died in Richland District sometime after the February 1808 2 CONC estate sale, but no record of her death has been found. Francis 2 CONC and Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie's daughter, Nancy, was apparently able 2 CONC to read and write.

He says there were three brothers, John, Ben and 2 CONC Joseph. John was my great grandfather as was Joseph, also, on my 2 CONC mother's side.... John William was my father's father and your 2 CONC father's grandfather.... What I have stated is absolutely correct as 2 CONC far back as my two great grandfathers." 2 CONT 2 CONT Since it seems possible that the designation of the younger John 2 CONC Culpepper as "John William Culpepper" might have come from a family 2 CONC history whose facts have not been substantiated. John Culpepper, the 2 CONC subject of this book will be designated as John Culpepper [1772-1855]. 2 CONC Although there are records of Joseph and Ben Culpepper in South 2 CONC Carolina, no record has ever been found of a brother namd John 2 CONC Culpepper. Lee R. Gandee, a Lexington, SC genealogist, in a 23 May 2 CONC 1974 letter to Billy W. Dunn, a Culpepper descendant, wrote that the 2 CONC Lexington Culpepers were "an early and now extinct family here. Little 2 CONC is known, as our records were almost all lost in the Civil War, both 2 CONC here and in the parent District, Orangeburg, when Yankees burned the 2 CONC courthouses.... No church records remain, either...." 2 CONT 2 CONT Joseph Culpepper, a presumed brother of the elder John Culpepper, was 2 CONC living on Thom's Creek in what is now Richland County, SC at least as 2 CONC early as 1767. Sometime prior to 1785 Joseph moved across the Congaree 2 CONC River to the eastern part of Orangeburg District, SC, where he owned 2 CONC land on Sandy Run Creek and south of the creek on Bull Swamp, which 2 CONC flows into the Edisto River. The area became Lexington District, SC in 2 CONC 1804 and is near the present town of Sandy Run in Calhoun County. 2 CONC Revolutionary War records place Benjamin Culpepper, the other presumed 2 CONC brother of the elder John Culpepper, in South Carolina at least by 2 CONC 1778. 2 CONT 2 CONT In the 1850 census of Randolph Co., AL (p. 386, family 189) John 2 CONC Culpepper [1772-1855], the presumed son of the elder John Culpepper, 2 CONC listed his own place of birth as South Carolina. This would place the 2 CONC elder John Culpepper and his wife in South Carolina by 1772. In the 2 CONC 1880 census, which was the first to ask about the place of birth of 2 CONC the parents of the person listed, two of the oldest living children of 2 CONC John Culpepper [1772-1855], John Jefferson Culpepper and Sarah O. 2 CONC Culpepper Elliott, also listed John's place of birth as South Carolina 2 CONC but a middle son, Francis G. Culpepper, listed his father's place of 2 CONC birth as North Carolina as if he might have remembered hearing of a 2 CONC family connection to North Carolina. Joseph R. Culpepper in his letter 2 CONC to the Rev. George B. Culpepper noted that John Culpepper [1772-1855] 2 CONC came to South Carolina from Virginia. Again, this was probably a 2 CONC reference to information from a Culpepper family history which was in 2 CONC circulation at the time that he wrote the letter, indicating that the 2 CONC family came from Culpeper Co., VA. But no records of Culpeppers have 2 CONC been found in Culpeper Co., VA except for Lord Culpeper whose heir was 2 CONC a daughter who married Lord Fairfax. 2 CONT 2 CONT Since no records of the elder John Culpepper have been found in South 2 CONC Carolina, there can only be speculation about him based on 2 CONC circumstantial evidence. Both Joseph and Benjamin, the elder John's 2 CONC presumed brothers, were on the 1790 census in Orangeburg District, SC. 2 CONC John Culpepper [1772-1855], the elder John Culpepper's presumed son, 2 CONC and Joseph, the elder John Culpepper's presumed brother, are listed 2 CONC with their families living near each other (p. 560 & p. 561) in the 2 CONC 1800 census of Lexington, SC. This suggests that Joseph was indeed 2 CONC related to Ben and John [1772-1855]. Since the elder John Culpepper 2 CONC does not show up in the 1790 census of South Carolina, there is a 2 CONC possibility is that he died between 1772, the year John Culpepper 2 CONC [1772-1855] was born, and the 1790 census. Since no mention has been 2 CONC found of brothers and sisters for John Culpepper [1772-1855], it is 2 CONC possible that his parents, or at least his father, died young and 2 CONC since John Culpepper [1772-1855] emerges in the 1800 census as a 2 CONC neighbor of Joseph, it is possible that John [1772-1855] was raised by 2 CONC his presumed uncle, Joseph Culpepper. In the 1790 census, Joseph had 2 CONC three males over age 16 in his household. Joseph is only known to have 2 CONC had one son, Joseph Richard Culpepper, who is believed to have been 2 CONC born circa 1794. A letter in Joseph's Revolutionary War Pension file 2 CONC (#R 2565) states that Joseph's son, Joseph R. Culpepper, was "the only 2 CONC legatee" of Joseph Culpepper. This leaves the possibility that John 2 CONC Culpepper [1772-1855] was one of the three males listed in the Joseph 2 CONC Culpepper household in 1790 as over 16. John Culpepper [1772-1855] 2 CONC would have been 18. Also in 1807, Joseph Culpepper secured a bond for 2 CONC John Culpepper [1772-1855] when John was named administrator of the 2 CONC estate of Daniel Peek. This suggests close family ties between the 2 CONC two. 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 1748 1 DEAT 2 DATE AFT 1772 1 FAMS @F429@ 1 FAMC @F433@ 0 @I389@ INDI 1 NAME Sarah /Oglethorpe/ 2 GIVN Sarah 2 SURN Oglethorpe 1 SEX F 1 _UID 6F30A017C551C6468C15FAFC63BA779B3E92 1 NOTE In a biographical sketch of Francis Gillespie Culpepper which appeared 2 CONC in the Lavaca Co., TX Shiner Gazette on 2 Feb 1898, it was stated that 2 CONC the grandmother of Francis G.

Nothing has 2 CONC been found to support the Oglethorpe connection except that John 2 CONC Culpepper [1772-1855] had a daughter, Sarah O., and two grandsons with 2 CONC a middle name of Oglethorpe.

Eleanor b 2 CONC 1684 We do not know the date of her death. In 1707 she was married to 2 CONC Eugene-Marie de Bethisy, Marquis de Mezieres. She probably died in 2 CONC France. James b June 1, 1689 bur June 15, 1690 Louisa Mary (Molly) and 2 CONC Sutton (twins) b Sept. 1693. Sutton lived seven weeks. In 1733 Molly 2 CONC married Marquis de Bensonpiere. The Marquis died within a year and the 2 CONC Marquise closed her career in a minor post in the court of Spain. We 2 CONC did not find the date of her death. Frances Charlotte (Fanny) b Feb. 2 CONC 1696. In December 1719 she married Jean Francois de Bellegarde, 2 CONC Marquis de Marches of Peidmont. She must have also died in France on 2 CONC an unknown date. James Edward b Dec. 22, 1696 d 1785 in England. The 2 CONC founder of the Colony of Georgia. He came to America first in January 2 CONC 1734 and stayed until late in the year 1743. He made two prolonged 2 CONC trips back to England in the interim in connection with the 2 CONC administration and military affairs of the Colony but when he sailed 2 CONC from Charles Town for London in 1743, he never saw his beloved Georgia 2 CONC again. On Sept. 15, 1744, in King Henry VII Chapel in Westminster 2 CONC Abbey, he was married to Elizabeth Wright the only daughter of Sir 2 CONC Nathan Wright, Baronet. There were no children. 2 CONT 2 CONT The problem with the idea that the elder John Culpepper married one of 2 CONC the descendents of General Oglethorpe is that the sisters are a 2 CONC generation too early for such a marriage and the husbands of General 2 CONC Oglethorpe's sisters are known. An Oglethorpe researcher, Kenneth H. 2 CONC Thomas, Jr., wrote (16 Jun 1985) that neither General Oglethorpe "nor 2 CONC his brothers, left any children at all, male or female. There are many 2 CONC descendants of his sisters, though, but all remained in Europe (at 2 CONC least during the 1700s) and married noble Catholic families." 2 CONT 2 CONT Perhaps the wife of the elder John Culpepper was an Oglethorpe or a 2 CONC descendant of an Oglethorpe, but not a sister of the General. The 2 CONC Oglethorpe name is rare in the United States, it was not represented 2 CONC at all in the 1790 census of the United States. However, there were 2 CONC Oglethorpes living in Camden District, SC in the 1760's and 1770's. 2 CONC Hannah, Thomas, and John Newman Oglethorpe all witnessed a deed for 2 CONC land on the south side of the Wateree River in 1765 (SC Deeds Book 2 CONC E-3, p. 192). John Newman Oglethorpe is mentioned in Robert W. 2 CONC Ramsey's Carolina Cradle as being a resident of Camden, SC, during 2 CONC 1765-1768. 2 CONT 2 CONT For search purposes, the name Sarah Oglethorpe has been tentatively 2 CONC suggested as the name of the wife of the elder John Culpepper since 2 CONC John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper named other children for presumed 2 CONC relatives, e.g., Francis Gillespie Culpepper and Daniel Peek 2 CONC Culpepper, and so possibly their daughter, Sarah O.

This Benjamin might just as easily have been 2 CONC the son of Benjamin Culpepper, Sr., Joseph's brother. For the moment, 2 CONC based partly on naming conventions used by the two younger Bens, this 2 CONC one is assumed to have been the son of Joseph, and the following 2 CONC discussion is based on this assumption. See also the discussion of the 2 CONC Fishing Creek deeds in the Theories Section of this web site, for 2 CONC further details. Our current thoughts on him follow, but these could 2 CONC easily change as new information comes to light. 2 CONT 2 CONT It would appear that Benjamin was born either in Norfolk County, VA, 2 CONC or in early Bertie Precinct, NC, in the early 1720's. He moved with 2 CONC his family to Edgecombe County, NC, in the late 1730's. He married his 2 CONC wife, Lydia, there, in the early 1740's. 2 CONT 2 CONT When his father Joseph died intestate in 1745, he inherited one, and 2 CONC possibly two tracts of land as Joseph's eldest son, by right of 2 CONC primogeniture. He may have lived on one tract, on Swift / Sandy Creek. 2 CONC And his mother Martha lived on the other Fishing Creek tract until she 2 CONC remarried around 1751, to Benjamin Dumas, and moved with Dumas to 2 CONC Anson County, NC. 2 CONT 2 CONT After his mother's re-marriage, Benjamin then sold the Fishing Creek 2 CONC tract to his first cousin, Benjamin Culpepper (ferryman), in 1752. And 2 CONC by 1754, he had decided to move on, and so sold the tract on which he 2 CONC then lived on Sandy Creek to Thomas Davis. 2 CONT 2 CONT Here the record on Benjamin Jr. becomes murky for about 13 years, 2 CONC until 1767, when his eldest son Joseph Culpepper first appears in 2 CONC records in South Carolina. So it seems likely that Benjamin moved to 2 CONC South Carolina around 1754, probably with one or more of his wife's 2 CONC relatives. Where he settled has not been discovered. And he must have 2 CONC died there prior to 1771, when his widow Lydia received a grant as 2 CONC "the widow Culpepper." 2 CONT 2 CONT That this Benjamin was the son of Joseph is based on the 2 CONC interpretation of two deeds involving Joseph's Fishing Creek property. 2 CONC In 1741, Joseph sold one-half of his Fishing Creek property to 2 CONC Benjamin Culpepper. This was probably Benjamin his brother. Joseph 2 CONC also had a son named Benjamin, but analysis shows that he did not sell 2 CONC the land to his own son. By 1746 both brothers were deceased, and 2 CONC their two sons, both named Benjamin, were each in possession of one 2 CONC half of Joseph's original 320 farm on Fishing Creek. 2 CONT 2 CONT Although it is impossible to tell, due to the poor wording of the 1741 2 CONC deed, the current analysis presumes that Joseph's son Ben inherited 2 CONC the WEST half of the property by right of primogeniture, and 2 CONC Benjamin's son Ben owned the EAST half by right of primogeniture. In 2 CONC 1752, Benjamin (son of Joseph) sold the WEST half to his older cousin, 2 CONC Benjamin, ferryman, son of Benjamin. See the footnote for a detailed 2 CONC look at these land transactions. 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT Since after 1746, there were only two Benjamin Culpeppers in early 2 CONC Edgecombe, it would be useful if we could distinguish them, by the way 2 CONC they signed deeds. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The surviving 2 CONC deed books in early Edgecombe are later copies of the original deeds, 2 CONC so the original marks from the original deeds have not survived. In 2 CONC all cases in which a Benjamin sold land or witnessed a deed, the "B" 2 CONC mark was apparently used, and except for Benjamin's will in 1767, the 2 CONC original mark itself has not survived. 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT By 1752, and perhaps as early as 1743 Benjamin Culpepper (son of 2 CONC Joseph) was living on a 300 acre farm on Sandy Creek, in Granville 2 CONC Co., NC. This was about nine or ten miles northeast of his first 2 CONC cousin Benjamin's land on Peach Tree Creek, considerably closer to his 2 CONC cousin Benjamin, and to Peach Tree Creek, than was his old Fishing 2 CONC Creek land. This writer speculates that this may have been the same 2 CONC 300 acres on Swift Creek, which Benjamin's father Joseph may been 2 CONC granted as early as 1743. Land Grants, Vol. 1, page 59, NC Archives, 2 CONC Raleigh, 27 February 1743, Joseph Culpepper enters 300 acres in 2 CONC Edgecombe County, on the north side of Swift Creek....and RUNS ACROSS 2 CONC THE CREEK; includes his improvements; made out; paid: rights returned. 2 CONC The entry has survived, but not the actual grant. 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1754, Benjamin Culpepper Jr., sold the 300 acres on Sandy Creek in 2 CONC Granville Co., NC "where I now live" to Thomas Davis. (Granville Co. 2 CONC Deed Bk. B, p. 391-2) Witnesses were Lewis Davis, Moses Harris, and 2 CONC Samuel Chaivis. Benjamin signed this deed with a 'C.' This land was 2 CONC described as "beginning on the north side of the said [Sandy] Creek at 2 CONC a Road Oak running thence along a line to a corner tree a Road Oak 2 CONC thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to a White Oak a corner tree of 2 CONC the south side of said creek thence along a line to a corner tree a 2 CONC White Oak thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to the first station 2 CONC it being the plantation whereon I now live." 2 CONT 2 CONT That Benjamin's 300 acres on Sandy Creek was the same land as Joseph's 2 CONC 1743 land entry on Swift Creek is speculation. But note that Sandy 2 CONC Creek becomes Swift Creek at Hilliardston community in present day 2 CONC Nash County (according to "The North Carolina Gazeteer" by Wm. S. 2 CONC Powell). And this could have been about the point where this land was 2 CONC situated. And this was also near the boundary between what was then 2 CONC Edgecombe and Granville Counties. So the land entry might have 2 CONC mentioned Edgecombe, and the later sale, Granville, as the location. 2 CONC Also, note that both the land entry, and the later sale, mention that 2 CONC the land was on both sides of the creek. So this unusual feature of 2 CONC the property is found in both documents. Further, assuming the land 2 CONC entry became a grant to Joseph, there is no further mention of the 2 CONC sale of the land by his estate. Likewise, there is no other mention of 2 CONC Benjamin buying his Sandy Creek land. So by assuming that these two 2 CONC records refer to the same property, one has a complete history of its 2 CONC purchase and later sale. And if this is correct, then it strengthens 2 CONC the idea that this Benjamin was the son of Joseph, as he would have 2 CONC inherited this land from Joseph by right of primogeniture, just as he 2 CONC apparently inherited the west half of the Fishing Creek property. 2 CONT 2 CONT An anomaly, which remains to be explained, is that this Benjamin 2 CONC apparently signed his sale of land in Edgecombe with a 'B' and yet 2 CONC signed this sale of land in Granville with a 'C'. Was the 'B' in the 2 CONC Edgecombe sale an error by the copyist? Since the surviving deeds in 2 CONC Edgecombe are copies, not originals, it would be hard to speculate. 2 CONT 2 CONT There is no further record of this Benjamin. He seems to have moved in 2 CONC the direction of, if not to, Richland or Camden District, SC, where 2 CONC records have been lost. No surviving records on Benjamin in South 2 CONC Carolina have been found. 2 CONT 2 CONT Research on his wife and her family might eventually provide 2 CONC additional clues. Since Benjamin did not follow the migration path of 2 CONC his siblings, chances are, he was migrating with his wife's family, 2 CONC and not with his own. Perhaps she was related to the John Griffin, who 2 CONC was an adjacent land owner to Joseph Culpepper in early Northampton 2 CONC County, and who may have been the same John Griffin who lived next to 2 CONC Benjamin's widow Lydia in early South Carolina. 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 1724 2 PLAC Edgecombe Co., North Carolina 1 DEAT 2 DATE BEF 1771 1 FAMS @F433@ 1 FAMC @F434@ 0 @I398@ INDI 1 NAME Lydia /LNU (Culpeper)/ 2 GIVN Lydia 2 SURN LNU (Culpeper) 1 SEX F 1 _UID A8B0080DE1EB154EAF06B47566DCA690F249 1 NOTE Lydia has been suggested as the mother of Joseph, John and Benjamin 2 CONC Culpepper of South Carolina since she appears to have been a widowed 2 CONC woman who owned land near Joseph in South Carolina. 22 Aug 1771, Lydia 2 CONC or "Liddy Cullpeper" received a royal land grant (Royal Grants Vol. 2 CONC 24, p. 199) "on the Fork of Wateree and Congaree River on a Branch 2 CONC Called Griffins Creek.

The names John, Joseph, and Benjamin Culpepper were 2 CONC used in several Culpepper families that appear to trace back to Robert 2 CONC Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA. While some members of the line remained 2 CONC in Norfolk Co., VA, other members of the line appear to have moved 2 CONC across the North Carolina border to Northampton and later Edgecombe 2 CONC County. From there various branches moved to Anson Co., NC, South 2 CONC Carolina and Georgia. 2 CONT 2 CONT Lydia may have been related to one of the families that were living 2 CONC near the Culpepper's in Edgecombe / Granville County on Fishing Creek, 2 CONC Sandy Creek, Mocassin Creek, or Peach Tree Creek, such as the 2 CONC Strothers, Richardson's, Masons, Thompsons, Powell's, Ward's, Wilders, 2 CONC Foreman's, and Rowell's, to mention a few. 2 CONT 2 CONT Since no will has been found, there is only circumstantial evidence 2 CONC based on extant records to suggest that Lydia's husband was Benjamin 2 CONC Culpepper, Jr. and that they married around 1741 on Fishing Creek in 2 CONC Edgecombe County, North Carolina. 2 CONT 2 CONT Sometime between 1754 and 1767, Lydia and her sons, and possibly her 2 CONC husband Benjamin Jr., as well, moved to South Carolina, either 2 CONC Orangeburg or Camden District.

In 1758 these areas north of Fishing Creek became 2 CONC part of Halifax County. 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1741 Northampton County and Edgecombe County were formed from 2 CONC Bertie County. 2 CONT 2 CONT In January 1741, Joseph Culpepper of Edgecombe County deeded to his 2 CONC brother Benjamin Culpepper, of Edgecombe Co, 160 acres for £8 on west 2 CONC side of Fishing Creek, which was one-half of the John Edwards tract 2 CONC mentioned above. Some 260 years later, this one key deed is the most 2 CONC troubling one to current researchers. One can only speculate why, but 2 CONC this deed does not adequately describe the land involved in this sale. 2 CONC Was this the east half, or the west half, of Joseph's original Fishing 2 CONC Creek property. We may never know. And the question is important. See 2 CONC the footnote to this article, which describes the Fishing Creek deeds 2 CONC in detail. 2 CONT 2 CONT Joseph's cattle brand is recorded in Edgecombe County in 1741 in the 2 CONC "Book of Marks.1 2 CONT 2 CONT On 27 Feb 1743, Joseph Culpepper took out a land entry for 300 acres 2 CONC in Edgecombe County on the north side of Swift Creek below the mouth 2 CONC of Tuckahoe Branch, including his own improvements. (Tuckahoe Branch 2 CONC on Swift Creek is not mentioned in "The North Carolina Gazeteer," by 2 CONC Powell. It does mention other Tuckahoes, and says that the Tuckahoe 2 CONC was a plant whose roots were eaten by the Indians.) The location of 2 CONC this grant on Swift Creek has not been positively identified. This 2 CONC writer thinks that it was probably near Hilliardston Community, in 2 CONC current day Nash County. This is the point at which Sandy Creek 2 CONC becomes Swift Creek. 2 CONT 2 CONT Back in Northampton County, on 6 April 1745, John Edwards was granted 2 CONC 595 acres on both sides of Bear Swamp, joining Joseph Culpepper's 2 CONC land, and at a point near the mouth of White Oak Branch, Solomon 2 CONC Fuller, William Boon, and the said swamp. (Land Patents, by Margaret 2 CONC M.

The land 2 CONC joined Joseph Culpepper, Solomon Fuller, and William Boon, and was 2 CONC part of a 595 acre patent to John Edwards dated 6 April 1745. 2 CONT 2 CONT Since Edward's original patent (Patent Bk 5, p. 223, as found in 2 CONC Hofmann, Colony of NC Land Patents, p. 199) also mentioned the same 2 CONC adjacent land owners, this might suggest that Joseph Culpepper still 2 CONC owned his land in Northampton as late as 1745, having moved to 2 CONC Edgecombe County a few years earlier. It is not clear whether Joseph 2 CONC sold this land in Northampton prior to his death in 1745, or whether 2 CONC his widow or heirs sold it after his death. Whoever bought the land, 2 CONC unfortunately, did not record the deed. 2 CONT 2 CONT John Edwards Sr., gave his sons John Jr., and Thomas, land in the 2 CONC Rocky Swamp area north of Fishing Creek, in what later became Halifax 2 CONC County. (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, by Margaret Hofmann, Book 3, p. 136, 2 CONC and Book 5, p. 192) John Edwards Sr. died in Northampton County in 2 CONC 1765, and his will does not mention a daughter who married a 2 CONC Culpepper. 2 CONT 2 CONT So while Joseph and Benjamin Culpepper lived south of Fishing Creek, 2 CONC some of their acquaintances lived north of Fishing Creek, such as John 2 CONC and Emanuel Rogers. 2 CONT 2 CONT Joseph died in Edgecombe County in 1745. His wife Martha was appointed 2 CONC administrator of his estate in May 1745, and in August was appointed 2 CONC guardian of their four minor children, John, Joseph, Argent, and 2 CONC Sampson. The children were all under the age of fourteen since their 2 CONC guardian was appointed by the court. 2 CONT 2 CONT At the time of his death, Joseph apparently owned one or possibly two 2 CONC tracts of land. He owned the west half of his 320 acre grant on 2 CONC Fishing Creek. And he may have owned a 300 acre tract on Swift Creek, 2 CONC for which no final patent has survived. This writer thinks that he 2 CONC owned both tracts, and that that both devolved by right of 2 CONC primogeniture, to his son Benjamin. See the article on Benjamin for 2 CONC further details. 2 CONT 2 CONT Joseph's widow, Martha, probably continued to live on the west half of 2 CONC the Fishing Creek property until she remarried, around 1751 to 2 CONC Benjamin Dumas. At this point, her son Benjamin sold his half of the 2 CONC Fishing Creek property to his cousin Benjamin, ferryman, whose own 2 CONC widowed mother already lived on the east half of the property. 2 CONT 2 CONT On 21 August 1753, William Wilder sold 100 acres adjacent to the widow 2 CONC Culpepper and the widow Mason and the south side of Fishing Creek. 2 CONC Witnesses were Thomas Mann, Benjamin Culpepper (B was his mark) and 2 CONC Nathaniel Powell (N was his mark). (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds by Margaret 2 CONC M. Hofmann, Deed Book 4, page 531) This land had been a grant to 2 CONC William Wilder on 2 May 1752. (Granville Grants Vol. I, by Hofmann, 2 CONC #1292 in her book, from Patent Book 11, page 304) From the description 2 CONC of the land, we can see that it bounded Joseph Culpepper's original 2 CONC Fishing Creek property on the west. 2 CONT 2 CONT The widow Mason, just mentioned, was probably Hannah, widow of Ralph 2 CONC Mason. (Estate Records of Edgecombe County, NC, by Joseph W. Watson, 2 CONC page 175) Later deeds show Ralph Mason's son Mark living adjacent to 2 CONC the Culpepper farm, so Hannah must have been deceased by then. 2 CONC (Granville Grants, Vol. I, by Hofmann, # 999 in her book, from Patent 2 CONC Book 11, page 237 -- see also #863 and #1292 in this book) Ralph's 2 CONC son, Foster Mason, also lived in this area, and his wife Elizabeth was 2 CONC a widow by this time as well. 2 CONT . 2 CONT William Wilder, just mentioned, had married Elizabeth Culpepper, 2 CONC daughter of Joseph and Martha Culpepper, around 1745. 2 CONT 2 CONT According to testimony in court Martha Culpepper's second husband, 2 CONC Benjamin Dumas died 1 Oct 1763 in Anson County. He did not leave a 2 CONC will. 2 CONT 2 CONT Martha's will has been found in the court minutes of a case filed in 2 CONC Salisbury District by John and Joseph Culpepper, sons of Joseph 2 CONC Culpepper, Sr., against David Dumas, son of Benjamin Dumas and 2 CONC administrator of his estate. Martha's will was dated 23 Jan 1764 and 2 CONC was probated 26 Jan, 1764. (Rowan County Estate Records 1753-1929, 2 CONC under the heading "Benjamin Dumas, 1764" at the NC State Archives) 2 CONT 2 CONT In it she mentioned her "well beloved children" Joseph Culpepper, John 2 CONC Culpepper, Sampson Culpepper, Elizabeth Wilder and Sarah Culpepper. 2 CONC Sampson was called "my youngest son." Elizabeth and Sarah were not 2 CONC mentioned when Joseph died so they must have been over 21 or married. 2 CONT 2 CONT A daughter, Argent, was mentioned in Joseph Culpepper's estate, but 2 CONC not in his widow Martha's will. 2 CONT 2 CONT The best clues we have to Allison's ancestry are in two 1827 deeds in 2 CONC Jackson Co, GA. In Feb 1827, Allison Culpepper sold his 240 acres in 2 CONC Jackson Co, GA, two separate tracts on Candler's Creek, to Ambrose 2 CONC Yarbrough. Witnesses were Joel Culpepper and Dennis Duncan. The tracts 2 CONC had been granted originally to David Allen (40 acres) and E. Marbury 2 CONC (200 acres). The chain of title from these men to Allison Culpepper 2 CONC has not been found (Jackson Co. Deed Bk. L, both on p. 32). The 2 CONC Joel Culpepper who witnessed Allison's deed was the son of Joseph 2 CONC Culpepper III. Ambrose Yarbrough, who bought Allison's land, was 2 CONC a Baptist minister from Anson Co, NC. He was married to Elizabeth 2 CONC Culpepper, apparent daughter of John Culpepper. But Ambrose was 2 CONC closely associated with the family of Joseph Culpepper III, as well. 2 CONC He was a witness to the 1816 will of Joseph Culpepper III in Jackson 2 CONC Co. GA. Ambrose's daughter Frances married James Culpepper, son of the 2 CONC above Joel Culpepper, son of Joseph III. 2 CONT 2 CONT And it is significant that this 1827 record of Allison was in Jackson 2 CONC Co, where Joseph Culpepper III lived.

"Equity" courts were more free 2 CONC to fashion a remedy if the aggrieved party "had no remedy at law." The 2 CONC Petition filed in this case was in equity. Apparently, there was no 2 CONC equity court in Anson County and Rowan County had equity Jurisdiction 2 CONC over Anson County. Hence, the case was filed in Rowan Superior Court. 2 CONT 2 CONT Under English common law, when a husband died, his widow had dower 2 CONC rights in one-third of his estate during the remainder of her life. 2 CONC However, upon the death of the widow, the property enjoyed by the 2 CONC widow during her lifetime would go to the heirs of the husband. The 2 CONC Petition was a suit by the children of MARTHA Dumas by her first 2 CONC husband, JOSEPH CULPEPPER, claiming the dower property should pass to 2 CONC them under MARTHA'S last will and testament rather than to revert to 2 CONC BENJAMIN DUMAS' children, by operation of law. 2 CONT 2 CONT The Petition establishes the following: 2 CONT ( 1 ) BENJAMIN DUMAS died without will on October 21, 1763. 2 CONT (2) MARTHA DUMAS made her will on January 23, 1764 and died the next 2 CONC day on January 24, 1764. 2 CONT (3) DAVID DUMAS applied for letters of administration for the estate 2 CONC of BENJAMIN DUMAS on January 24, 1764. 2 CONT (4) The will of MARTHA DUMAS was proved on January 26, 1764. 2 CONT (5) The Petition was filed in September, 1764. However, for some 2 CONC reason, a Summons was not issued until March 22, 1766. The Summons set 2 CONC a court date of September 22, 1766. 2 CONT 2 CONT The Petition sets out the verbatim text of the will of MARTHA DUMAS. 2 CONC The important parts are as follows: 2 CONT (1) . . . I give and bequeath to my youngest son SAMPSON CULPEPPER ore 2 CONC Negro girl named Effey. 2 CONT (2) ....

The date and place of his birth are unknown, but 2 CONC as his son William was born in 1749, it may be assumed that he was 2 CONC born about 1725-30. The date of his death and place of burial are 2 CONC unknown - although he may have been buried at Poplar Tent church. 2 CONC However, he died after 1807, as he was granted land on Mallard Creek, 2 CONC April 28, 1807. 2 CONT Benjamin and Susanna Alexander migrated to Mecklenburg Co., N. C., 2 CONC from PA., sometime after 1760, as they sold land on the north side of 2 CONC Catawba River, on the south branch of Fishing Creek, on 3-22-1765 2 CONC (Meck. Book 2, p. 722). 2 CONT On 1-21-1768, Benjamin and Susanna Alexander sold 200 acres on the 2 CONC waters of Buffalo Creek, on the head branch of Betts Creek (4-473). 2 CONC July, 1767, they bought 391 A., on both sides of Mallard Creek, from 2 CONC H. E. McCullough (4-36). 2 CONT 2 CONT From about 1725, until the outbreak of the Revolution there was an 2 CONC increasing migration of the Scot-Irish of Ulster to America. Many of 2 CONC these were Alexanders who settled largely in PA. There were also 2 CONC Alexander emigrants from Scotland. Benjamin was probably of these 2 CONC later arrivals. It is certain that he and his wife lived in PA, before 2 CONC going to NC, as his son William stated in his Pension Declaration that 2 CONC he was born in Bucks County, Penn., in 1749. As his brother Thomas was 2 CONC born in 1753, he was doubtless born in PA, also (Bucks Co. was one of 2 CONC the three original counties erected by PA, and at that time embraced 2 CONC all the territory north and northwest of Philadelphia Co. Again, a 2 CONC diligent search of Pennsylvania records has failed to identify him. 2 CONT 2 CONT The following is a continuation of the above genealogy column in the 2 CONC newspaper dated Thursday, July 16, 1959: 2 CONT "Benjamin Alexander became a large land owner and lived in the Mallard 2 CONC Creek section of Mecklenburg county. (The 1790, U. S. Census lists a 2 CONC Benjamin Alex'r as living in that section with a household of two 2 CONC males over 16; one female and no slaves). 2 CONT It is probable that Benjamin received his first grants of land from 2 CONC the Colonial Government; which records are unobtainable. The first 2 CONC land record in Mecklenburg County of Benjamin and Susanna Alex'r is 2 CONC where they deeded Andrew Meek, of Charles Co., MD., land on the north 2 CONC side of Catawba River and south branch of Fishing Creek, 3-22-1765. 2 CONC (2-722). The next record is from Charles Campbell, of Bertie Co., to 2 CONC Benjamin Alex'r 38 A., of land on branches of Mallard Creek, Jan. 2 CONC 1767. (4-30). On July of the same year he bought 391 A., on both sides 2 CONC of Mallard Creek, from H. E. McCullough. (4-36). 2 CONT 2 CONT He received three grants of land from the State of N. C., the last 2 CONC being on 4-28-1807. (17-173). This is the last land record found of 2 CONC Benjamin. In the interim he acquired or conveyed at least 18 parcels. 2 CONC The total acreage deeded to him was well over 1,800. In many of the 2 CONC deeds the names of both Benjamin and Susanna appear, and in one deed 2 CONC (April 1789) Benjamin and William bought 213 A., on Mallard Creek, 2 CONC including a mill, from Hannah Garrison.

This Eleazer Tart was probably the 2 CONC son of Eleazer Tart, Sr. Eleazer Tart, Jr, married Robert Culpepper's 2 CONC daughter, Mary. 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1716, Robert Culpepper and Edward Lewelling witnessed the will of 2 CONC William Dale. (Richard Dale later witnessed Robert Culpepper's will.) 2 CONT 2 CONT In 1727, Robert Culpepper bought 50 acres on the West Branch of the 2 CONC Elizabeth River from his cousin Jonas Winfield, for £10. (See will of 2 CONC Jeane Green, Robert's grandmother). 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert Culpepper died in 1743. He must have been about 80 years old, 2 CONC which was well above average for his day and age. 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert's will, written in 1739 and proven in 1743, is important, as he 2 CONC and his brother Henry are the ancestors of most of the American 2 CONC Culpeppers. It is necessary to look at a copy of the actual document 2 CONC and not the abstract, to note that Robert had a son, Robert, Jr., to 2 CONC whom he gave his great Bible, his "lancets, horse flemes, and other 2 CONC instruments of iron for the use of horses." A fleam was a surgical 2 CONC knife, as was a lancet. 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert gave five Shillings each to his sons Joseph and Benjamin 2 CONC Culpepper, who by this time were in Edgecombe County, NC. 2 CONT 2 CONT He gave half a Crown each to his daughters Rachel Wilder and Ann 2 CONC Wilder. These small gifts of money indicate that Rachel and Ann had 2 CONC moved away from Norfolk County, and had probably already had some help 2 CONC along the way from Robert. 2 CONT 2 CONT He gave his daughter Elizabeth Ward, wife of John Ward, an ewe and a 2 CONC lamb, suggesting that she still lived nearby in 1743. 2 CONT 2 CONT And daughter Mury Green must have been nearby in 1743, as she received 2 CONC an ewe as well. Mury's husband may have been Henry Green (see below). 2 CONC At the moment, descendants of Mury Green are unidentified. However, 2 CONC there were folks named Green in early Edgecombe County, NC records. 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert Culpepper made a point of mentioning his grandson, William 2 CONC Culpepper, in his will. William got a cow and calf, and an ewe and 2 CONC lamb. Robert must have been particularly fond of William, since 2 CONC William got more live stock than Robert's daughters, Elizabeth Ward, 2 CONC and Mury Green. This was probably his grandson William, son of Robert 2 CONC Culpepper, Jr. 2 CONT 2 CONT Robert gave all his land in Norfolk County to "his loving daughter 2 CONC Mary Tart," and appointed her husband, Eleazer Tart, as his sole 2 CONC executor. Henry Green, John Joyce, and Richard Dale witnessed the 2 CONC will. 2 CONT 2 CONT One could suspect that Robert's daughter Mary was the one who was 2 CONC looking after him in his old age, and so she was the one who was 2 CONC rewarded with Robert's land. 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 1664 2 PLAC Lower Norfolk Co., Virginia 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1742 2 PLAC Norfolk Co., Virginia 1 PROB 2 DATE 21 JAN 1741/42 2 PLAC Norfolk Co., Virginia 1 WILL 2 DATE 16 OCT 1739 2 PLAC Norfolk Co., Virginia 1 FAMS @F435@ 1 FAMC @F436@ 0 @I411@ INDI 1 NAME Sarah /LNU (Culpepper)/ 2 GIVN Sarah 2 SURN LNU (Culpepper) 1 SEX F 1 _UID 503B3DD421DD144B8EC0048CA622C9F35B0C 1 NOTE Based on the deed below, it has been suggested that Robert's wife may 2 CONC have been Sarah.

In the case of Joseph and 2 CONC Benjamin, at least, it would appear that they each named their first 2 CONC born son, Benjamin. Various naming conventions were used by different 2 CONC cultures in the South, but in Virginia, first born sons were most 2 CONC often named after a grandfather. (See "Albion's Seed, Four British 2 CONC Folkways in America," by David Hackett Fischer.) 2 CONT 2 CONT So perhaps the father of Robert's wife was named Benjamin. 2 CONT 2 CONT The birth dates of Robert's children are largely speculative, and 2 CONC subject to revision from further research.

He was the son of John Culpeper (born 1606), who 2 CONC was the son of John Culpeper of Feckenham and Ursula Woodcock, but 2 CONC this is far from being proven. While there is some evidence to suggest 2 CONC that the name of Henry's father was John, it has not been possible to 2 CONC prove that this John was the one just mentioned. But he seems to be a 2 CONC good candidate, since he was the right age to have been Henry's 2 CONC father, was known to have been abroad from England, and belonged to a 2 CONC family with other connections in Virginia. 2 CONT 2 CONT Although several of Thomas's children are known from baptismal records 2 CONC in England, one cannot necessarily conclude that the list of known 2 CONC children is a complete list, since neither Thomas nor his wife left a 2 CONC will. 2 CONT 2 CONT Henry was probably born in England, perhaps around 1633, and came to 2 CONC Virginia as a young man, in May 1653 or prior. One cannot be certain 2 CONC of the exact date of his arrival, as Henry apparently paid for his own 2 CONC voyage, and then sold his claim to 50 acres of land (his headright) to 2 CONC Captain Nathaniel Hurd. He might have arrived some time prior to 2 CONC selling his headright, perhaps even years earlier. There is no 2 CONC evidence that Henry paid for his voyage by becoming an indentured 2 CONC servant to Captain Hurd. Only five years later (1658) Henry is 2 CONC mentioned as a Planter, and so seems to have been someone of means. 2 CONT 2 CONT On 7 Dec 1658, "Henry Colepepper, Planter" sold a cow in Lancaster 2 CONC Co., VA ("Virginia County Court Records: Deed & Will Abstracts of 2 CONC Lancaster County, Virginia, 1654-1661"] p. 94). The fact that Henry 2 CONC was listed as a "Planter" indicates that he had chosen to make 2 CONC Virginia his home, that he owned land, and that he was apparently 2 CONC making a living raising cattle. Exactly what land he owned, where, and 2 CONC how and when he acquired it, has not been determined. A check of early 2 CONC Lancaster County tithable records does not reveal anyone named 2 CONC Culpeper, Culpepper, or Colepeper. This does not mean that Henry did 2 CONC not live in Lancaster County, just that he was not taxed for being a 2 CONC property owner. 2 CONT 2 CONT On 14 Sep 1659, a "John Colepeper" was also noted in Lancaster Co., VA 2 CONC deed records witnessing a deed which set parish boundaries. ("Virginia 2 CONC County Court Records: Deed & Will Abstracts of Lancaster County, 2 CONC Virginia, 1661-1702"] p. 88 (recorded 9 May 1660 p. 374)) 2 CONT 2 CONT This same document is also referenced in Beverly Fleet's "Virginia 2 CONC Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 1, Lancaster County, Record Book No. 2, 1654 2 CONC - 1666. John Colepeper served "as a witness to a meeting of the 2 CONC parishoners of Lancaster Parish and Pieankitank for the final ordering 2 CONC of all differences betwixt the 2 parishes concerning the bounds of the 2 CONC said parishes should be and extend according to an order of the County 2 CONC Court bearing date 10th day of Sept 1657." This meeting was recorded 2 CONC on 20 May 1660. 2 CONT 2 CONT The area of discussion at the meeting is the part of Lancaster County 2 CONC across the Rappahannock River in what is now Middlesex County. 2 CONC Middlesex County was formed from Lancaster County in 1673. The 2 CONC Pianketank River (just mentioned) divides present Middlesex County 2 CONC from Mathews County. The records of Mathews County were burned during 2 CONC the Civil War, but Middlesex County, on the other hand, has excellent 2 CONC records, including the Christ Church Parish records. The Middlesex 2 CONC records are probably too late to be of much use. 2 CONT 2 CONT Lancaster County records have survived, for the most part, from the 2 CONC beginning of the county in 1652, and should be studied further. 2 CONC Lancaster County, at the tip of the Northern Neck, was a home base of 2 CONC the Northern Neck Proprietary. Bill Russell has suggested that Thomas 2 CONC Culpeper, son of John of Feckenham, may also have lived in the 2 CONC Lancaster County area from 1649 until his death in 1652. For most of 2 CONC this time the area would have been in Northumberland County, the 2 CONC parent county of Lancaster County. Thomas was one-seventh proprietor 2 CONC of the Northern Neck under the charter of 1649. 2 CONT 2 CONT A Henry Culpeper and a John Culpeper were both listed as "Shippers by 2 CONC the Defence," which was bound from London for New England 10 May 1664 2 CONC - 30 June 1664. Also mentioned was Sir William Peake, who was perhaps 2 CONC the Sir William Peake who was Lord Mayor of London a few years later, 2 CONC in 1667. ["The Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699"], p. 64 by Peter 2 CONC Wilson Coldham, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc]. 2 CONT 2 CONT It is difficult to say which John Culpeper this might have been, who 2 CONC was traveling with Henry. There were as many as three Johns in 2 CONC Virginia and neighboring Albemarle, NC, about this time: John (born 2 CONC 1606), John (born 1633, son of Thomas and Katherine), and John (born 2 CONC 1640's, of Albemarle). But it doesn't necessarily matter which John it 2 CONC was, as all three may have been related, and this record seems to 2 CONC connect Henry to this branch of the family, which is the descendants 2 CONC of John Culpepper of Feckenham (born 1565) and and his wife Ursula 2 CONC Woodcock. 2 CONT 2 CONT No record has been found of Henry's marriage to Elizabeth. But 2 CONC evidence suggests that her maiden name was probably Greene. 2 CONT 2 CONT By 1667 or prior, Henry had moved to Lower Norfolk County, VA.

I would make this was one of the Culpeper 2 CONC family 2 CONT merchant ships, not a Royal Navy warship. It was probably owned by 2 CONC John the Merchant. 2 CONT 2 CONT John Culpeper, born in 1606, could be the ancestor of most American 2 CONC Culpeppers. And yet little is known about him for certain. Other than 2 CONC this John, and his brother Thomas, there are no known Culpepers with 2 CONC ties to Virginia, old enough to have been the father of the first 2 CONC Henry Culpeper of early Lower Norfolk County, VA. From the research of 2 CONC Fairfax Harrison (see below), we know that although John was trained 2 CONC as a lawyer, he took up the career of a merchant instead, and that he 2 CONC was involved in trade between England and the American colonies. And 2 CONC so hereafter, I'll refer to him as John Culpeper the Merchant. 2 CONT 2 CONT Those who think that John the Merchant was the one who died in 1674 2 CONC offer various logical reasons why his land might have escheated back 2 CONC to Virginia, even though they think he did indeed leave descendants. 2 CONT 2 CONT Merchants in colonial America left few records which have survived 2 CONC until today, and our knowledge of John Culpeper the Merchant suffers 2 CONC as a result. But from what little we do know, it seems possible that 2 CONC John the Merchant and his sons may have worked as a agents, or 2 CONC "factors" in colonial trade. The following description of this sort of 2 CONC work is excerpted from Perry of London by Jacob M. Price, page 30: 2 CONT 2 CONT "There were hardly any towns in the seventeenth century Chesapeake 2 CONC except the ‘capitals' of Jamestown and St. Mary's City, and they were 2 CONC places of little commercial importance. Early trading ventures to the 2 CONC Chesapeake had often been entrusted to captains and supercargoes who 2 CONC could travel about and seek out business where settlers were to be 2 CONC found. The practice, however, was inefficient in its utilization of 2 CONC ship time and by mid-century had largely yielded to the factor system. 2 CONC The English merchant desiring to trade to the Chesapeake would either 2 CONC by himself or as part of an ad hoc syndicate or ‘adventure' send out 2 CONC an agent, usually known as a factor, who would sell goods and buy 2 CONC tobacco on the account of his principals, the metropolitan merchants, 2 CONC and receive in return a salary or a commission of ten percent (five 2 CONC percent for selling the trading goods and five percent for buying 2 CONC tobacco). The factor normally rented a room from a planter at a place 2 CONC convenient for keeping his goods; most of his time, however, was spent 2 CONC traveling about, meeting planters, arranging sales and purchases, and 2 CONC related details. He might be at his "store" as seldom as ne day a 2 CONC week. Most of the factors appear to have remained in the colony only a 2 CONC few months... or at most a few years. But some settled permanently. As 2 CONC members of this last group accumulated capital of their own, they 2 CONC became the peddlers, country traders and even merchants of the 2 CONC colony...." 2 CONT 2 CONT John Culpeper the Merchant's work may have taken him to Barbados, 2 CONC Virginia, Maryland, New England, and perhaps elsewhere. Much research 2 CONC remains to be done in order to construct a more accurate and complete 2 CONC picture of John's life and activities. 2 CONT 2 CONT The following account of John Culpeper the Merchant is taken from "The 2 CONC Proprietors of the Northern Neck, Chapters of Culpeper Genealogy" by 2 CONC Fairfax Harrison: 2 CONT 2 CONT "He was baptised in Harrietsham, October 26, 1606, as ‘Johannes, 2 CONC filius Johannis Culpeper, arm.;' and on May 7, 1621, was admitted 2 CONC 'specially' to the Middle Temple as ‘Mr. John, second son of John 2 CONC Culpeper of Astwood, Worc. esq.' (Hopwood, ii, 662). He did not pursue 2 CONC the law, but before 1633 had embarked in the Virginia trade, being 2 CONC recorded that year as part owner, with his elder brother, of a new 2 CONC ship, the Thomas and John, which was equipped with ordnance from the 2 CONC public stores in order to voyage to Virginia (Cal. State Papers, Dom., 2 CONC 1633-34, p. 223, and Hotten, Original Lists, p. 83). He was named in 2 CONC his father's will (1635) as 'my son John C.;' on his father's MI. in 2 CONC Hollingbourne as 'Johannem' the third child; and in the will of Sir 2 CONC Alexander as 'my nephew John C. her (i. e., Cicely's) brother.' 2 CONT 2 CONT "His legacy under his father's will was a 'rent charge of £30, payable 2 CONC by Sir John [afterwards first Lord] Culpeper during my said son John's 2 CONC life.' When, in 1651, the Commonwealth was hearing claims upon the 2 CONC forfeited estate of Lord Culpeper, a John C. appeared and, describing 2 CONC himself as a merchant who had been 'beyond seas' during the Troubles, 2 CONC asserted his title to this rent charge, claiming that since 1645 he 2 CONC had received only £75 (Cal. Com. Compounding, 1643-60. v, 3277). That 2 CONC this was John there can be no doubt." 2 CONT . 2 CONT There is some evidence that this John was the father of Henry 2 CONC Culpepper, of Norfolk County, VA. Henry Culpepper appears in records 2 CONC of Lancaster County, VA prior to his arrival in Norfolk County, and a 2 CONC John Culpepper can be placed in Lancaster County about the same time. 2 CONT 2 CONT "Lancaster Co VA Deeds & Wills 1654-1661," Page 173 -- The P:sents 2 CONC Winesseth that I HENRY COLEPEPPER, Planter, in ye County of Lancaster 2 CONC in Virginia doe assigne unto JOHN EDWARDS, Surgeon, in ye same County 2 CONC his heirs or assignes one Cow Cale being brown ye right ear a peice 2 CONC taken out behind & a nick in ye forepart of ye sd ear ye left ear 2 CONC cropt & underkeeled with a nick in ye forepart thereof & do warrant ye 2 CONC sd Calfe from any p:son whatsoever unto him ye sd EDWARDS or his 2 CONC assignes forever, as Witnes my hand this 7th 2 CONT day of December 1658.

Middlesex County has excellent records, including the 2 CONC Christ Church Parish records, which should be checked. 2 CONT 2 CONT Also, a John and Henry were traveling on the same ship in 1664: "The 2 CONC Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699," by Peter Wilson Coldham, page 2 CONC 64, the year 1664: "10 May - 30 June. Shippers by the Defence, Mr. 2 CONC John Webber, bound from London for New England: 2 CONT Benjamin Hewling, John Newell, Humphrey Hodges, Thomas Parris, James 2 CONC Fassett, John Fullerton, Sir William Peake, Robert Davies, Robert 2 CONC Knight, John Winder, HENRY CULPEPPER, JOHN CULPEPPER. (PRO: E190/50/1, 2 CONC 50/2) 2 CONT 2 CONT From Bill Rusell, May 2000, comes the following useful summary of John 2 CONC Culpeper, the Merchant: 2 CONT 2 CONT First, John was clearly a ship owner with business interests 2 CONC throughtout the colonies. He had been away from England for some time 2 CONC when he returned to protect his brothers estate in 1651. Their 2 CONC interests were probably more entangled than just their common 2 CONC ownership of the _Thomas and John_. It would appear that they may have 2 CONC owned a trading company with points of presence in England, Barbados, 2 CONC New England, and Virginia. Indeed, John probably had sons or 2 CONC sons-in-law in those places to carry out their trading business. I 2 CONC suspect that Hannah who married Edward Frisbie and Susannah who 2 CONC married Francis Lindley were both daughters. Edward Frisbie was from 2 CONC another prominent merchant trading family in Norfolk County, VA and 2 CONC removed to New England. Francis Lindley ended up in New Jersey after 2 CONC having lived in New England. I also believe the John Culpeper "the 2 CONC Carolina Rebel" was a son of John the merchant. 2 CONT 2 CONT Second, John the Merchant was also John the lawyer, a fact we 2 CONC sometimes overlook and which may go some ways to unraveling some of 2 CONC the confusion over the various Johns. John the merchant was at the 2 CONC Middle Temple as was his brother Thomas. More importantly, he was 2 CONC there at the same time as Gov. Sir William Berkeley. I believe that it 2 CONC was John the merchant who represented the legal interests of Frances 2 CONC Culpeper Stephens Berkeley before the courts in North Carolina and who 2 CONC attested to Berkeley's signature on the deed to 2 CONT Roanoke Island in New England. Who better to entrust to such a job 2 CONC than the Governor's wife's uncle, a lawyer who ownd a ship able to 2 CONC travle to North Carolina and New England on short notice and who 2 CONC personally knew the Governor. He makes a more logical candidate for 2 CONC the job than the relative young "Carolina Rebel" who had no legal 2 CONC training and may not have even reached North Carolina by the time in 2 CONC question. 2 CONT 2 CONT Third, John the merchant had known trading interests and presence in 2 CONC New England and Barbados. Charleston, SC was settled originally by 2 CONC groups from both places and it is possible the John the Rebel was his 2 CONC father's representative in those areas. Culpeper's Rebellion in North 2 CONC Carolina - really Albemarle -, was fomented by New England merchant 2 CONC traders. If John the merchant handled the sale of Roanoke Island for 2 CONC Governor Berkeley, it is clear that the Lamb family who purchased it 2 CONC were friends of Sarah Mayo, John the Rebel's wife. From the records it 2 CONC would appear that John the Rebel arrived in Albemarle after the John 2 CONC Culpeper who was in court in the sale of the property, yet the later 2 CONC buyers were well familiar with John the Rebel's family. The Lamb 2 CONC family who bought Roanoke Island were also New England 2 CONT merchant traders who mainained a family presence in the Albemarle 2 CONC region of North Carolina. 2 CONT 2 CONT . 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE BEF 26 OCT 1606 2 PLAC Harrietsham, Kent, England 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1674 1 BAPM 2 DATE 26 OCT 1606 2 PLAC Harietsham, Kent 1 FAMS @F438@ 1 FAMC @F439@ 0 @I426@ INDI 1 NAME Susanna /Culpeper/ 2 NPFX of Connecticut 2 GIVN Susanna 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX F 1 _UID C46FD902BC805B4DB4CC47494F2DFF4DCAA5 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I427@ INDI 1 NAME Hannah /Culpeper/ 2 NPFX of Connecticut 2 GIVN Hannah 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX F 1 _UID 7D74563DF7F7CC47BFE235838B857155B4F6 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I428@ INDI 1 NAME Abigail /Culpeper/ 2 NPFX of Connecticut 2 GIVN Abigail 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX F 1 _UID 66781306F556654193B0BA09639FCDC17EDE 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I429@ INDI 1 NAME John /Culpeper/ 2 NPFX of Albemarle, NC 2 GIVN John 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX M 1 _UID C90B6ECB27CA5C4EA1A1A551C85E4F00551A 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I430@ INDI 1 NAME James /Culpeper/ 2 GIVN James 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX M 1 _UID AF66DCFB17C6D8438FBE1142E59C1B476751 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I431@ INDI 1 NAME Dennis /Culpeper/ 2 GIVN Dennis 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX M 1 _UID 8F9C13451406C04686C1F1DE43A7FA0CA93B 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I432@ INDI 1 NAME Robert /Culpeper/ 2 GIVN Robert 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX M 1 _UID B19F5F0FEF4CF84F96A7CEBBC56F7138E37C 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 FAMC @F438@ 0 @I433@ INDI 1 NAME John /Culpeper/ 2 NPFX of Astwood in Feckenham 2 GIVN John 2 SURN Culpeper 1 SEX M 1 _UID 65FEAB717D6F3A4E90B885DE02C0B3CEE164 1 NOTE Second surviving son of his generation, he makes his first appearance 2 CONC on the existing record as 'my brother John Colepipir's son, my godson, 2 CONC ' in the 1581 will of his maternal uncle, John Sidley of Southfleet 2 CONC (P.C.C. Darcy, 31; Waters' Gleanings, ii, 969). In October, 1587, or 2 CONC soon after the death of his brother William, when, according to the 2 CONC later testimony of his tombstone, he would be 17 years of age, he was 2 CONC entered at the Middle Temple under the description 'late of New Inn, 2 CONC gent... second son of John Colepeper of Wigsell, Sussex, esq.' 2 CONC (Hopwood, i, 293). Unlike his eldest brother, whose record so far runs 2 CONC parallel, he had entered upon a professional career. Duly called to 2 CONC the bar, by 1595 he was having his youthful kinsmen 'bound' with him, 2 CONC and in 1599 is listed as a Bencher. Frequenting the household of his 2 CONC uncle Francis at Greenway Court, he there met and married his first 2 CONC wife, and after Francis' death established her at Greenway Court (then 2 CONC the property of his younger brother Alexander), as appears from the 2 CONC baptism of one of his children in Harrietsham; but later he occupied a 2 CONC house in Salehurst, as appears from his elder brother's inq. p.m. 2 CONC already cited. 2 CONT 2 CONT That his law practice was profitable, despite his reputation, recorded 2 CONC on his MI., for composing more litigation that he fomented, appears 2 CONC from his ability to subscribe to the Virginia Company under the 2 CONC charter of 1609; and a year later, under the third charter, to make 2 CONC one of the largest individual subscriptions (£37, 10s. 6d.) to the 2 CONC 'supply' which saved the colony at Jamestown from death by inanition 2 CONC (Brown, Genesis, 218, 407, 546). 2 CONT 2 CONT Having been designated, by the will of his uncle Martin, the 2 CONC contingent remainderman of Astwood in Feckenham, he removed his family 2 CONC to Astwood after the inheritance had become certain by the death 2 CONC without issue of his cousin Sir Stephen12; and there buried his first 2 CONC wife in June, 1612. This occupancy was by arrangement with Dr. Martin 2 CONC Culpeper's widow, who had a life estate but had meanwhile re-married 2 CONC and removed her residence elsewhere. In 1616 he bought out that aunt's 2 CONC interest, and then gave over his law practice to become a country 2 CONC gentleman. Being now 'of Feckenham,' he became a diligent presiding 2 CONC magistrate at quarter sessions; being included, a generation ahead of 2 CONC Sir Roger de Coverley, of the quorum in the Worcestershire commission 2 CONC from 1618-1628; again, like Sir Roger, in 1624 he served the office of 2 CONC Sheriff of that county 'with music before me, a feather in my hat and 2 CONC my horse well bitted' (Bund, Cal. Quarter Sessions Papers, 2 CONC Worcestershire, 1591-1643, 1900; Sheriff Lists in Fuller's Worthies). 2 CONT 2 CONT But when he was nearly seventy years of age, for what reason does not 2 CONC appear, he sold Astwood to one Thomas Rich, and returned to Greenway 2 CONC Court to die. There, on December 14, 1635, he made his will and on 2 CONC December 18th following, as the parish register testifies, 'Mr. John 2 CONC Culpeper, Armiger,' was buried in the chancel of Hollingbourne church. 2 CONC His will was as follows: 2 CONT 2 CONT P.C.C.

Said they had been to the library in Aberystwyth 2 CONC and had looked at the records ..... This person said the Shelby 2 CONC homestead was located precisely at the valley where the two rivers, 2 CONC the Croes and the Berwyn meet, within walking distance of Tregaron. 2 CONC (Source: Judith Trolinger-2003) 2 CONT 2 CONT On June 17th, 2004 I went to Tregaron, Wales and found the location of 2 CONC the point where the Croes and the Berwyn meet. There is in fact a 2 CONC footpath leading there and, although there is no evidence of a 2 CONC building there, I believe that was the location of the old homestead 2 CONC of the Shelby's. (MCM-2004) 2 CONT 2 CONT 28 Aug 2001--Ron Shelby sent a copy of the original Baptismal record 2 CONC for Evan Shelby Sr-found in the records in the National Library of 2 CONC Wales. Father's name, Selby Phillip 2 CONT 2 CONT From Ron Shelby-Sept 2001 2 CONT "Selby was buried in the local church yard on 26 June, 1731, and his 2 CONC name is recorded as "Shelby Phillip" at this time. This is a very 2 CONC clear record..Unfortunately, the graveyard filled up early in the 19th 2 CONC century, and all the pre 1800 gravestones were removed. 2 CONT There appears to be no chance to find the exact burial site of 2 CONC Phillip or his headstone. So, while Philip is definitely Evan's 2 CONC father, his own origin is still a mystery. The fact that he was buried 2 CONC as a "Shelby" by the village priest was a surprise to me." (Courtesy 2 CONC of: Judy Trolinger) 2 CONT 2 CONT "When she drove my mother and me to the Shelby homestead site I admit 2 CONC being somewhat 2 CONT skeptical that it was the true location. But I later confirmed the 2 CONC facts with Rev. Davis by going through the parish records. When Evan 2 CONC senior married Catherine Davies, the records (written in Latin) 2 CONC clearly state that he was a yeoman (farm-owner) of the parcel of land 2 CONC at the 2 CONT meeting of the Croes and Berwyn rivers."

Alabama became a part of the 2 CONC Mississippi Territory in 1798 after Indian cessions in north Alabama. 2 CONT The upper northeastern part was Cherokee Territory, the mid eastern 2 CONC part was Creek Territory. Migration increased after the end of the 2 CONC Creek War in 1814. In 1817, the Alabama Territory was created, and 2 CONC Alabama became the 22nd state in December of 1819. 2 CONT 2 CONT The Mobile area was settled even earlier. Founded in 1702 by French 2 CONC explorers, Mobile served as the capital of French Louisiana for 16 2 CONC years. In 1763, Mobile and the Gulf area of Florida became a British 2 CONC colony. Control of Mobile and British West Florida changed hands 2 CONC several times between 1780 and the War of 1812. 2 CONT 2 CONT In a book entitled “Baptist’s of Bibb” on page 496, McCord lists a 2 CONC cemetery he calls the Reid/Cobb Cemetery, surveyed last in 1983. 2 CONC During McCord’s earlier survey, he found four unmarked graves along 2 CONC with two marked graves, one “inaccessible, because of growth and the 2 CONC only one left marked at this time. It is for James Reid (1795/5/9 – 2 CONC 1853/10/6), who was Alexander next door neighbor according to the 2 CONC 1830, 1840 and 1850 Alabama census. That means there are five graves 2 CONC besides Reid’s and they could possibly be for Alex, Ruth, Rebecca, 2 CONC Priscilla and Elizabeth Cobb. They would not be for James Reid’s 2 CONC family because after his death, his widow and children migrated west. 2 CONT My father and I spoke to an elderly lady that owned the land. She told 2 CONC us that the field was called Cobb’s Corner or Cobb's Field by the 2 CONC older locals, because it had once been owned by Alexander Cobb. That 2 CONC story was repeated by another older lady who had been the historian 2 CONC for the Mulberry Baptist Church. She said she thought she remembered 2 CONC that Alexander had been buried there near James Reid and did not 2 CONC remember when his headstone disappeared.
